The Dallas Cowboys are still reeling from the heartbreaking loss of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, whose sudden passing has left an irreplaceable void both on and off the field. In an emotional media appearance, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb spoke candidly about the team’s grief and their determination to keep Kneeland’s spirit alive.
Fighting back tears, Lamb said softly, “I still hear his voice in the locker room every morning… All the games to come, we will play for Kneeland.” His words captured the collective pain — and resilience — of a team mourning one of its own.
Kneeland, known for his relentless drive and infectious energy, had quickly become a beloved figure in the Cowboys locker room. Teammates described him as “the spark everyone needed,” a player who brought passion and positivity to every practice, every game, and every moment in between.
To honor his memory, the Cowboys organization announced that during their November 18, 2025 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, every player will wear custom bracelets engraved with the words “Kneeland in our hearts.” The tribute, players say, is more than symbolic — it’s a promise.
“We’re not just playing football,” Lamb continued. “We’re playing for Marshawn. For his legacy, for his love of this team, for the brotherhood he built here.”
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy also shared emotional remarks, emphasizing that Kneeland’s impact went far beyond the game. “He was the kind of player every coach dreams of — hardworking, humble, and full of heart. His spirit will forever be part of this team.”
Fans across the nation have flooded social media with condolences and tributes, sharing artwork, videos, and messages under the hashtag #PlayForKneeland.
The upcoming game against the Raiders is expected to be more than just another NFL matchup — it will be a moment of unity, remembrance, and healing for the Cowboys family.
As the team takes the field under the bright lights of AT&T Stadium, one thing will be certain: Marshawn Kneeland’s presence will still be there — in every play, every huddle, and every heart that beats beneath the star.
