Thomas also shared the phone numbers for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Frisco police announced Thursday that they are investigating Kneeland’s death as a possible suicide.

NFL Players Mourned Marshawn Kneeland on Thursday

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott told CBS News Texas that he had a “heavy, heavy heart” upon learning of Kneeland’s passing. Prescott and Kneeland played together the last two seasons after Dallas selected the latter with a 2024 second-round pick.

“I hurt for Marshawn,” Prescott said. “I hurt for his family, I hurt for his girlfriend, and I hurt for every single one of my teammates. This is a pain you don’t wish upon anybody.”

Former Cowboys defensive star Micah Parsons wrote, “I’m sorry little brother. I hope you find peace,” on his Instagram story. Cowboys linebacker Juanyeh Thomas said he was “sick” in an X/Twitter post.

Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence overlapped with Kneeland on the Cowboys last season. Although Lawrence admitted he didn’t spend much time with Kneeland, he nonetheless enjoyed their interactions.

“I know he loved the game, man,” Lawrence told reporters. “He loved to smile. He loved interacting with his teammates. ... But he was a fun young guy, man. I loved being around him. He’s going to be missed very well.”

“YOU ARE NOT ALONE! ” Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro offensive lineman Lane Johnson wrote on X/Twitter.

The NFL said the league has offered support and counseling resources to the Cowboys, who are on their bye week.
