All NFL - The Athletic insights about Marshawn Kneeland

NegativeInjuryJul 7, 2026
Boston University researchers diagnosed Marshawn Kneeland, a former Dallas Cowboys defensive end who died by suicide in November 2025 at age 24, with Stage 1 chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) post-mortem. Kneeland was selected by Dallas in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft and played 18 games for the team. His family's statement noted the diagnosis 'provides important context about some of the struggles he may have been facing,' though it does not change the tragedy of his passing. His case contributes to a larger discussion on the long-term effects of head trauma in NFL athletes.
