FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> have several tributes planned to honor teammate Marshawn Kneeland<\/a>, who died Thursday while the team was on its bye week.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys will wear helmet decals for the remainder of the season in remembrance of Kneeland, with teammates coming up with the final design. They will also wear special T-shirts before next week’s game vs. the Raiders as well as the Nov. 23 game vs. the Eagles, which will be the Cowboys’ first at AT&T Stadium since Kneeland’s death.<\/p>\n

In addition to a moment of silence, the Cowboys will have a video tribute for Kneeland before the Eagles game, as well as other tributes to him before the game.<\/p>\n

News of the planned tributes comes after the team returned to The Star for the first time following Kneeland’s death. Internal and external counselors have been made available to the players, coaches and staff.<\/p>\n

“Certainly, it puts everything into perspective,” executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas in the franchise’s first remarks since the death. “You’re playing a game that means a lot to a lot of people but there are things a lot more important than that. Certainly, that’s what we’re going through this week. So that’ll be first and foremost, but then we do know, like anything, you’ve got to get back to work. We just want to continue to honor Marshawn and do everything the very best way we can.”<\/p>\n

Kneeland, 24, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to authorities, following a police chase early last Thursday morning. Kneeland was involved in an accident after the chase and abandoned his car on foot before being found later by police.<\/p>\n

Jones received a call not long after the incident.<\/p>\n

“Anytime you get news like that your heart just, obviously it’s like a hole going through it and you’re just heartbroken,” Jones said.<\/p>\n

Kneeland was the Cowboys’ second round pick in 2024 out of Western Michigan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Todd ArcherNov 11, 2025, 10:03 AM CloseTodd Archer is an NFL reporter at ESPN and covers the Dallas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-276403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
