LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dallas Cowboys players bowed their heads during a moment of silence in honor of their late teammate, Marshawn Kneeland, before Monday night’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

A photo of Kneeland was shown on the video boards at Allegiant Stadium, and the suicide hotline number, 988, was posted.

Kneeland, a 24-year-old defensive end, was found dead on Nov. 6 of an apparent suicide. Monday’s game was the first for the Cowboys since his death.

Dallas players wore blue T-shirts with Kneeland’s name, the years of his life — 2001-2025 — and the team’s star logo beneath an image of his face. A decal of his number, 94, was on the back of their helmets and will remain there for the rest of the season.

The team prepared a locker room stall for Kneeland at the stadium, and his jersey was placed on a coat hanger.

Dallas is coming off a bye week, given the team a little more time to come to grips with his death.
