NFL Teams to Honor Late Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland with Moment of Silence

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this week at the age of 24, with authorities investigating his death as a possible suicide from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. NFL teams will hold a moment of silence before all Week 10 games in his memory, accompanied by a message promoting the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988). Kneeland, a 2024 second-round pick, played 11 games as a rookie and appeared in seven games (three starts) in 2025, recording his first sack in Week 1 and his first NFL touchdown in his final game. Teammates like Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons, along with the Cowboys organization, expressed profound sadness and offered tributes. The police investigation into his death is ongoing.
