Cowboys share Marshawn Kneeland tribute t-shirts before kickoff vs Raiders

The Dallas Cowboys are finally making a return to the field to cap off Week 11 with a Monday Night Football showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. It will be an emotional game for Dallas, which is taking the field for the first time since the tragic death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland.

The Cowboys have planned several tributes for tonight's game, including helmet stickers, but they will also be remembering their late teammate before kickoff.

In the hours before the Week 11 finale for the NFL, the official Cowboys social media accounts shared the special tribute t-shirts that will be worn by players on the field.
