Cowboys issue heartfelt statement after passing of Marshawn Kneeland

The Dallas Cowboys organization is grieving the tragic loss of second-year defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, who passed away at the age of 24 on Thursday morning.

Kneeland had just put together the best game of his career on Monday night, recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals. He had his entire career ahead of him, and it's unbelievably tragic that he only had 24 years to leave his mark.

A second-round pick out of Western Michigan last year, Kneeland had already established himself as a reliable run defender off the edge in just his second season.
