Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a few hours away from playing their first game since Marshawn Kneeland's tragic death ... and the team made a special tribute to the late defensive end before kickoff in Las Vegas.

Dallas gave fans a glimpse into its locker room ahead of the "Monday Night Football" matchup with the Raiders ... showcasing Kneeland's jersey hanging in a locker with the caption, "94 forever."

It's one of the many ways the team is remembering Marshawn, who passed away earlier this month -- players will also wear helmet decals and T-shirts for the 2025 season.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer addressed Marshawn Kneeland's passing on Wednesday ... saying the team's "heart is heavy" as it deals with the loss -- while also revealing the late defensive end's girlfriend, Catalina, is currently pregnant with the couple's child.

The first-year head coach met with the media coming off Dallas' bye week ... and opened up his availability by offering condolences to Marshawn's family and his girlfriend as they navigate the difficult situation.

Schottenheimer said they had the opportunity to "celebrate" Kneeland's life Tuesday night ... and they were able to "tell some stories, share, laugh [and] cry."

The Dallas Cowboys were together for the first time since Marshawn Kneeland's tragic death on Monday ... and the organization held an "extremely impactful, extremely emotional" meeting to allow players to grieve the loss of their teammate.

The details of the gathering were shared by Solomon Thomas, who praised head coach Brian Schottenheimer and his staff for providing resources and giving the team an opportunity to express themselves.

"Extremely proud of coach for how he conducted today, just bringing therapists in the building, bringing people who we needed in the building and just letting us be our true emotions," Thomas said via the team. "Giving us a safe place to let everyone know what's going on inside."

The Dallas Cowboys are paying tribute to Marshawn Kneeland after he tragically passed away on Thursday ... leaving flower bouquets at his locker.

Cowboys cornerback Josh Butler shared an Instagram photo on Friday that shows the current state of Kneeland's spot in the team facility.

"Love you dawg," Butler wrote.

Marshawn Kneeland had a promising career with the Dallas Cowboys ... but it all came to a sudden halt in November 2025.

The late football player moved from a high school team all the way to the NFL before his career -- and life -- ended following an encounter with the police. Here's a look at the athlete's sports career.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland has died ... the team announced Thursday. He was 24 years old.

"It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning," the team said in a statement.

"Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family."

We're a few days away from throwback Thursday, but that didn't stop Baker Mayfield from strolling down memory lane during Monday night's "Manningcast," cracking a joke about his infamous 2017 arrest!

Mayfield was a guest on Eli and Peyton Manning's popular show, where the three quarterbacks were chopping it up with the 8-year pro and NFL star ... when they rolled a week 6 highlight of Baker scrambling, looking like a Mike Vick (not really) rather than the Bucs signalcaller.

The Giants legend then asked Bake when he got the time to practice scrambling ... and cue the comedy.

Dallas Cowboys star Trevon Diggs will miss this weekend's key matchup with the Commanders ... after his coach said he suffered an accident at his home on Thursday night.

Brian Schottenheimer announced the news to media members on Friday morning ... and while he didn't go into specifics about the matter, he did let journalists know the former All-Pro is in concussion protocol and won't be available for Sunday.

Schottenheimer said he was "wishing [Diggs] well" ... and added the team will rely on some younger DBs, including Caelen Carson, to fill in while the two-time Pro Bowler recovers.

1:22 PM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained Jadeveon Clowney's mug shot.

We've also gotten a hold of the police report related to the NFL star's arrest ... and it states Clowney was taken into custody after he got into a dispute while trying to find parking near a high school football game.

The docs state Clowney argued with a cop while searching for a spot -- and refused to provide an ID.

"Reporting officer requested Clowney's identification at least twice during the incident which Clowney repeatedly refused to provide," police wrote in the docs. "Reporting officer advised Clowney that he was under arrest for trespassing and failure to ID."

Clowney, meanwhile, addressed the incident with Dallas Cowboys media members on Friday and said he's ready to "move on from it."

Jadeveon Clowney was arrested last week ... just a couple days before he signed a contract to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

Ben Johnson isn't sweating a potential conflict of interest as Tom Brady juggles his roles as a broadcaster and Raiders minority owner ... telling reporters he thinks the whole conversation is actually a nothing burger.

The first-year Bears head coach met with the media ahead of Chicago's tilt with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday ... which will see Brady serve as the commentator for the contest.

It's pretty interesting ... as Brady's Raiders will welcome Da Bears to Sin City next week.

Jerry Jones is explaining the Dallas Cowboys' decision to honor Charlie Kirk prior to Sunday's game against the New York Giants ... saying as an organization, "we just all abhor violence."

America's Team was one of several franchises that held a moment of silence for the 31-year-old Sunday, with multiple opting not to -- as the NFL left the decision up to each hosting squad.

Jones said the recent violence is "impacting us all" ... and referenced growing up in the '60s and the string of senseless crimes that affected politics.

Jerry Jones still has one very large Cowboys fan in his corner despite his shocking trade of Micah Parsons -- Shaquille O'Neal!!!

The Big Diesel told TMZ Sports this week he still has Jones' back ... this despite the Dallas owner jettisoning his favorite team's best player to Green Bay late last month.

In fact, Shaq jokingly threatened to get physical with our Michael Babcock for even remotely implying that Dallas supporters should turn on the Cowboys' boss.

Haliey Welch is well aware there's another high-profile spitter in town after the Eagles-Cowboys mess ... and the "Hawk Tuah" OG is down to combine loogie forces!

As TMZ reported ... Jalen Carter spat on Dak Prescott just after the start of Philadelphia's season-opener against Dallas. He was booted from the game ... and has since apologized.

Haliey tells TMZ ... she thought it was "hilarious" that she was trending right along with Jalen after the spit heard around the sports world occurred, adding ... “I guess he’s now the Hawk Tuah Man!”

NFL season is here and we're serving up a famous WAG whose vacay legs can easily be mistaken for hot dogs! Can you guess the frankfurters in the photo? We'll throw you a few clues, then it's on you to run her into the end zone!

Her future hubby played college ball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, and now he's saddled up with the Dallas Cowboys.

Hours after Jalen Carter spat on Dak Prescott, the Eagles star showed some remorse for his behavior ... calling his actions "a mistake."

The gross scene went down just after the start of Philadelphia's season-opener against the Cowboys ... when Carter was jawin' back-and-forth with Dallas' signal-caller.

At one point, cameras captured the Philadelphia defensive tackle hocking a loogie on Dak's chest -- and when a ref saw it, Carter was ejected from the game.

A new bombshell has entered the NFL universe -- "Love Island: USA" star Huda Mustafa made a surprise appearance during the league's season-opening broadcast on Thursday ... getting her name called to break down the Eagles' famous "Tush Push."

NBC enlisted Huda for a segment on the subject prior to Philadelphia's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys ... going into detail on how it was almost banned this offseason before mocking those who complained about it.

She made a reference to one of her viral moments from the dating show in the process ... saying she's "no football expert, only a mommy."
