The Raiders and Cowboys joined together to honor the memory of Marshawn Kneeland before playing each other on “Monday Night Football” at Allegiant Stadium.
Kneeland was a 24-year-old defensive lineman for the Cowboys who took his own life last week. Dallas played for the first time since his death Monday.
Both teams wore shirts honoring Kneeland during warmups.
The one worn by Raiders players bore the message, “Call an audible” on the front, with a reminder about the “988” suicide prevention hotline.
Dallas defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton arrived to the stadium wearing Kneeland’s No. 94 jersey. Quarterback Dak Prescott had the phrase “One Love,” a signature saying of Kneeland’s, written on his wrist tape.
As Prescott left the field following warmups, he paused in reflection before pointing to the heavens in remembrance. He then went back to the Cowboys locker room, which had a stall for Kneeland with his jersey hanging. Dallas also hung his jersey behind its bench during Monday’s game.
The Raiders posted Kneeland’s photos on the screens inside Allegiant Stadium during a moment of silence held before the national anthem.
