""Certainly, it puts everything into perspective," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. "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.""
""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. "Certainly, hoping that wasn't the case. Found out in the middle of the night, so woke up after finally got a little bit of sleep and woke up and was hoping it was a dream, but unfortunately it wasn't.""
The Dallas Cowboys are coordinating with Marshawn Kneeland's family to determine appropriate ways to honor him after his death. Players returned to the team's facility following the bye week while the organization prioritizes honoring Kneeland and supporting mental health. Teams observed moments of silence before each game and stadium announcements emphasized available mental health resources. Kneeland, 24, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police chase, an ensuing accident, and abandoning his car prior to being found. The organization acknowledged the emotional impact on the team and indicated plans to handle tributes carefully ahead of upcoming games.
