URGENT UPDATE: New reports confirm that Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland was driving at speeds exceeding 145 miles per hour moments before a tragic crash that led to his death on November 6, 2025. This shocking revelation comes from an incident report released by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
At approximately 10:30 p.m. on November 5, Trooper Preston Hagaman spotted Kneeland’s black Dodge Charger near the Dallas North Tollway. The incident report detailed a series of reckless maneuvers as Kneeland sped through traffic, making unsafe lane changes while traveling at dangerously high speeds.
Despite the trooper’s attempt to initiate a pursuit, the chase was abandoned when Kneeland’s vehicle was lost near Lebanon Road. Authorities later tracked the Charger, which ultimately crashed into a grassy field after colliding with another vehicle.
The unfortunate incident follows a week of emotional turmoil for the Cowboys, as Kneeland’s last game was just days prior to his death. On November 17, the team observed a moment of silence in his honor during a game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, highlighting the profound impact of his loss on the team and fans alike.
Kneeland’s death has ignited conversations around mental health and athlete support, with calls for mandatory therapy for players gaining traction. His passing is seen as a wake-up call for the NFL, emphasizing the importance of mental health resources for athletes.
As the situation continues to develop, the Cowboys are set to play their first home game since Kneeland’s tragic death against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday. Fans and teammates alike are left grappling with the loss, reflecting on Kneeland’s legacy both on and off the field.
