Jerry Jones Addresses Cowboys’ Grief, Outlines Season-Long Tributes for Marshawn Kneeland

Police report an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after a pursuit, pending formal findings by the medical examiner.

Overview

  • Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made his first public remarks, calling Kneeland’s death “devastating” as the team processes the loss together.
  • Dallas will honor Kneeland with a helmet decal for the rest of the season, warmup T-shirts for the next two games, and a Nov. 23 home-game video tribute and moment of silence expected to include his family and girlfriend.
  • The club returned to The Star on Monday after its bye for an emotional team meeting, with coaches bringing in therapists to support players and staff.
  • Authorities say Kneeland fled a traffic stop and a crash on Dallas Parkway, was found about three hours later, and dispatch audio referenced a ‘goodbye’ text and concerns relayed by his girlfriend about his mental health.
  • Week 10 games across the NFL included moments of silence and mental-health messaging, while the investigation and medical examiner’s formal determination remain ongoing.
