Marshawn Kneeland’s Tragic CTE Revelation | Dallas Cowboys News
Description
Tragic news: Former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, 24, died in November 2025 and was later diagnosed with stage one CTE — a brain disease linked to repeated head trauma. Found in nearly half of athletes under 30, this underscores how devastating the condition can be early in life. Despite playing during an era with advanced safety measures, Kneeland’s case highlights that current protocols don’t prevent CTE — it’s the cumulative toll of impacts, not just concussions. His family requests privacy as experts push for better ways to detect and prevent this silent killer in football.
