As the Dallas Cowboys prepare to play their Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, they are doing so with heavy hearts.
Defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland was found dead on Nov. 6 from a self-inflicted gun shot wound, just days after the Cowboys’ Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals. After the team went on its bye week, the Cowboys return to the field this Monday night against the Raiders in their first game since the incident.
Dallas has decided to honor Kneeland in different ways ahead of their game in Las Vegas. Here’s how Dallas is remembering Kneeland.

The Cowboys will continue to honor Kneeland through the season, especially in their home game against the Philadelphia Eagles next week.
