Dak Prescott, Cowboys Wear Marshawn Kneeland Tribute Shirts in Pregame Photos, Videos

Members of the Dallas Cowboys honored their late teammate, Marshawn Kneeland, ahead of Monday's contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Dak Prescott and other members of the team wore shirts featuring Kneeland's photo, and a locker inside Allegiant Stadium had Kneeland's jersey in it. Along with shirts honoring Kneeland, the Cowboys' helmets feature the defensive lineman's number, and they will continue to wear the decals for the remainder of the season. Per ESPN's Todd Archer, the Cowboys will wear the shirts again ahead of next week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which will be their first home game since Kneeland's death on Nov. 9. "Certainly, it puts everything into perspective," executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan (h/t Archer). "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." The Cowboys were on a bye week following Kneeland's passing, but teams around the league honored him with moments of silence. Dallas drafted Kneeland in the second round in 2024, and he appeared in 18 contests with the team, recording 26 tackles and a sack. He also scored a touchdown after a blocked punt in his final game with the Cowboys.
