RK DALLAS HEARTBREAK — AGAIN. Just Days After Losing Marshawn Kneeland, the Cowboys Are Rocked by ANOTHER Tragedy as a Dallas Star Loses His Sister to the Same Devastating Cause
The Dallas Cowboys are enduring one of the darkest, most heartbreaking weeks in franchise history — a week where tragedy keeps striking before anyone can even begin to heal.
Just days after the shocking death of Marshawn Kneeland, the team has been hit with another devastating blow:
Solomon Thomas — one of the Cowboys’ defensive anchors — lost his sister yesterday, also to suicide.
Two sudden losses in less than 72 hours have pushed the team into a state of emotional collapse. One Cowboys player described it simply:
“This is the worst nightmare we’ve ever lived through.”
🔥 “I can’t breathe…” — Solomon Thomas Breaks Down After Learning His Sister Died Yesterday
Thomas, known for his strength and leadership in the locker room, received the life-shattering phone call yesterday morning:
his sister had taken her own life, mirroring the same tragic circumstances that took Kneeland away.
During this morning’s team meeting, Thomas couldn’t hold himself together. As soon as he tried to speak, tears streamed down his face.
Through shaky breaths, he said:
“Yesterday… I lost my sister.
I can’t breathe anymore.
Everything is happening too fast… too painfully… and I don’t know what to do.”
No one in the room remained composed. Several players put their heads in their hands and cried, while others had to step outside to regain their composure.
💔 The Cowboys Still Haven’t Recovered From Kneeland’s Death — Now They Face Another
Marshawn Kneeland’s death already sent shockwaves across the NFL. The 24-year-old defensive end sent a goodbye message to his family before fleeing from a traffic stop and was later found dead in a portable restroom.
His girlfriend, Catalina Mancera, had called police out of fear that Kneeland might harm himself. She is currently pregnant, and the Cowboys have created a memorial fund to support her and the baby in the years ahead.
But just as the team was trying to gather themselves and support Catalina through the grief, another tragedy struck:
Solomon Thomas’s sister died yesterday, under the same heartbreaking circumstances.
A teammate said:
“Losing Marshawn crushed us…
But losing Solomon’s sister the very next day?
No one can handle that.”
Inside the Cowboys Locker Room: “A Silence So Heavy You Could Hear Your Own Heartbeat”
Osa Odighizuwa described the mood inside the facility:
“Everybody’s hurting. Everybody’s shocked.
It feels like we’re carrying a giant weight on our chests… and we don’t know how to get up.”
Players admitted they can’t focus on practice, can’t sleep, can’t eat. Some said the back-to-back losses left them feeling “broken” and “helpless.”
With a Shattered Heart, Thomas Still Tried to Encourage His Teammates
Despite his overwhelming grief, Thomas managed to share a message that brought many to tears:
“Don’t hide your pain… face it.
I learned that yesterday in the harshest way possible.”
He continued, voice trembling:
“If you need to call your family, call them.
If you need to cry, cry.
If you need to step outside and breathe, do it.”
The Cowboys Must Now Play Through the Toughest Emotional Storm in Team History
The Cowboys are set to play their first game since Kneeland’s death next week. But now they carry not only the weight of losing a teammate — they also shoulder the grief of losing a member of Thomas’s family.
Yet even through the heartbreak, Thomas shared a vow that the entire locker room rallied around:
“We’re going to fight.
Fight for Marshawn.
Fight for my sister.
And fight for each other.”
The Cowboys will step onto the field next week with heavy hearts — but with a shared purpose far greater than football.

Former Vikings Star Offensive Guard Agrees to Personal Terms with Detroit Lions, Medical Pending
Detroit, MI – The Lions have taken decisive action to rebuild their offensive line, reaching an agreement with a veteran free agent. The deal is pending medical tests before becoming official, but signals Detroit’s aggressive roster strategy.
The urgency stems from major offseason losses. With Frank Ragnow announcing retirement and Kevin Zeitler departing in free agency, Detroit’s offensive line suddenly lost both leadership and depth, leaving clear gaps that needed to be addressed ahead of Week 1.
That solution appears to come in the form of Dalton Risner, a 30-year-old offensive guard with six years of NFL experience. Known for his physical style and reliable presence, he brings the versatility needed to stabilize the interior line.
Drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Risner quickly became a full-time starter and never looked back. His combination of size, athleticism, and consistency has earned him respect as one of the league’s steady interior blockers.
During four seasons in Denver, he started 62 games and built a reputation as a durable pass protector. In Minnesota, he appeared in 26 contests over two years, allowing just two sacks while maintaining strong PFF pass-blocking grades.
In total, Risner has logged 88 NFL games with 79 starts, posting a career Approximate Value (AV) of 27. His collegiate pedigree at Kansas State, where he earned All-American honors, only adds to his proven track record.
For Detroit, the move represents more than just depth. Risner is projected to step into a starting role immediately, offering stability alongside players like Elgton Jenkins. Protecting Jared Goff and enhancing the run game remain top priorities.
If cleared medically, Risner could join team activities this week. For Lions fans, the signing reflects a front office unwilling to let the offensive line falter, doubling down on the trenches to keep their NFC North title hopes alive.
