HH. BREAKING: Chiefs Trio Walks Out of Practice to Honor Late Cowboys Star Marshawn Kneeland
Kansas City, MO – November 7, 2025
The Kansas City Chiefs confirmed that three key players have been granted permission to leave team activities this weekend to attend the funeral of late Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland in Frisco, Texas.
The 24-year-old’s tragic passing has sent shockwaves through the entire NFL community. His humility, drive, and respect for the game left a lasting impression on players across teams and divisions.
Patrick Mahomes, Isiah Pacheco, and Rashee Rice will represent the Chiefs at the ceremony, paying their respects to a player remembered as both fierce and kind.
Head coach Andy Reid said the organization fully supported their decision:
“Some things are bigger than football. This is about standing together as a family, not as rivals.”
Mahomes added a heartfelt reflection: “We compete hard every Sunday, but moments like this remind you what really matters — life, love, and brotherhood.”
Pacheco spoke on the impact Kneeland had on younger players: “He played the game with passion. That’s something every player can learn from.”
Rice, who briefly met Kneeland at a charity event earlier this year, said quietly,
“He had this calm energy. You could feel the goodness in him.”
The Chiefs will wear black armbands in Week 10 as a tribute to Marshawn Kneeland’s memory.
Eagles’ Jordan Davis Apologizes to Marshawn Kneeland After Old Mocking Comment Goes Viral
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – November 7, 2025
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis has officially issued a public apology after facing backlash for a past remark aimed at Marshawn Kneeland — the Dallas Cowboys defensive end who tragically passed away earlier this week.
In a statement released by the Eagles on Friday morning, Davis expressed deep regret, calling his previous words “immature, disrespectful, and something I’ll regret for the rest of my life.”
The apology comes just days after fans resurfaced a controversial comment Davis made back in September during an ESPN interview, when he said:
“Marshawn Kneeland needs to stop overrating the Cowboys’ current strength.”
The short but cutting remark spread rapidly on social media, fueling heated debates between Eagles and Cowboys fans. But after Kneeland’s sudden and heartbreaking death, the old quote resurfaced — drawing harsh criticism toward Davis for being “insensitive” in light of the tragedy.
Sources inside the Eagles locker room revealed that Davis was deeply shaken upon hearing the news and personally reached out to Cowboys players, including team captain Dak Prescott, to express his condolences.
The Cowboys have not made an official public statement about the apology, but several players, including Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, were reportedly moved by Davis’s sincerity. One insider noted,
“At this point, it’s not about football anymore. It’s about humanity.”
Davis has also pledged to donate $50,000 to a mental health foundation chosen by Kneeland’s family and urged fans to treat players with greater compassion.
“We fight hard on the field, but we sometimes forget everyone’s fighting their own battles off it. I pray for Marshawn’s family — and I’ll use my platform to spread something better.”
This moment serves as a powerful reminder across the NFL: even the fiercest rivals share one undeniable truth — we’re all human, and some battles are fought far beyond the field.
