Marshawn Kneeland's Tragic Death Prompts Cowboys to Honor His Memory and Spirit

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland tragically died last week from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound following a police chase and vehicle wreck. The team, returning to practice after a bye, is grieving, holding a private vigil, and offering grief counseling. Coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasized moving forward, not on. Quarterback Dak Prescott found practice therapeutic, thinking of Kneeland. The Cowboys are honoring Kneeland with a helmet decal, but defensive tackle Solomon Thomas stressed that playing with the intensity, tenacity, and love for the game that Kneeland exemplified is the best tribute. Thomas noted Kneeland's journey from a small Michigan town, playing every snap like it was his last, believing this mindset will improve the team.
