"The Dallas Cowboys have announced that Marshawn Kneeland, their 24-year-old defensive end, died early this morning. There is no way around the shock and sadness of this tragedy: Kneeland was one of the youngest players on the Dallas roster, and his energy, team-driven mentality, and promising future made him a bright light in the organization. On Monday, the former second-round pick scored the first touchdown of his career on a blocked punt; it is unimaginable that just a few days later, he would pass away."
"Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that a spokesperson for the Plano Police Department said officers responded to a welfare check at his residence last night and did not make contact with anyone. According to a spokesman for the Plano Police Department, officers responded to "a welfare concern" at Marshawn Kneeland's residence at 11:40 p.m. on Wednesday night and did not make contact with anyone at the residence. Awaiting more info from law enforcement officials. https://t.co/VRQg8FiYiR - Nick Harris (@NickHarrisFWST) November 6, 2025"
