As a tribute, the Cowboys will wear helmet decals throughout the remainder of the season. The design for these decals will be finalized by Kneeland’s teammates, ensuring a personal touch to the memorial.
Upcoming Events and Tributes
In addition to the helmet decals, the team has planned to wear special T-shirts during their next two games:
- Against the Raiders next week
- On November 23 against the Eagles, their first game at AT&T Stadium since Kneeland’s passing
Before the game against the Eagles, fans can expect a moment of silence and a video tribute honoring Kneeland. These actions reflect the team’s commitment to celebrating his life and contributions.
Support for Team Members
Following the tragic event, both internal and external counselors have been made available to support players, coaches, and staff. The Cowboys’ executive vice president, Stephen Jones, emphasized the importance of community during this difficult time.
Jones commented on the situation, stating, “You’re playing a game that means a lot to a lot of people, but there are things a lot more important than that.” He remarked on the team’s wish to honor Marshawn Kneeland as best as they can.
Kneeland was drafted by the Cowboys as a second-round pick in 2024, coming from Western Michigan University. The outpouring of support and tributes showcases the strong bond within the team and their collective grief over the loss of their teammate.
