And that was smiling every day, enjoying the grit and the hard work that comes with this. That\u2019s playing with the passion when we get out there with our brothers. And most importantly, that\u2019s doing it the Marshawn Kneeland way, and that\u2019s having fun while doing it. \u2026 We will keep his legacy alive, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas authorities said that after a brief car pursuit on Wednesday, November 5, ended at the Cowboys\u2019 practice facility around 10:30 p.m., Kneeland exited his vehicle and fled on foot.<\/p>\n<p>Three hours later, the police used drones to be able to identify Kneeland\u2019s body in a portable restroom after he\u2019d died of what was later determined to be a self inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Overshown Coming Back From Another Knee Injury<\/h2>\n<p>Overshown was at the end of of a breakout season in 2024 when he was hurt, with 90 tackles, 5.0 sacks, 8 TFL, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 4 pass deflections and one interception returned for a touchdown through 13 games.<\/p>\n<p>It was his second consecutive season with a season-ending knee injury after tearing his ACL in the 2023 preseason, and while he will play Monday he will be on something of a \u201cpitch count\u201d according to Machota.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s actually ahead of schedule in his return, with the Thanksgiving Day game against the Kansas City Chiefs his initial targeted return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talked about it, and that\u2019s what you want to do coming off of any injury, especially for a guy that hasn\u2019t played in 300 some days, just ramping them up and getting to it, Overshown said. \u201cBut we already know, man, it\u2019s winning football time. So when the time comes, when the situation comes, if I\u2019m at that play count or that limit, we already have made the conversation where, look, it\u2019s a play that needs to be made, I got to be on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Will Honor Kneeland With Helmet Decal<\/h2>\n<p>With the Cowboys on a bye in Week 10, NFL teams honored Kneeland with a moment of silence before their games. The Cowboys will wear a special helmet decal the rest of the season to honor Kneeland, as well as specially made warm up shirts before each of their next 2 games.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Adame covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.
