DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer spoke publicly for the first time since the death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland , calling the past week one of the most difficult of his career and saying there’s “no playbook” for how to process such a loss.
Schottenheimer also revealed Kneeland's girlfriend, Caralina Mancera, is pregnant. During his comments, he revealed that the Cowboys have started a memorial fund to help Mancera. Schottenheimer said the team plans to support her and the baby as part of honoring Kneeland’s legacy.
“I’d like to just take a few moments and offer my condolences to Marshawn’s family,” Schottenheimer said. “My heart is heavy, our team’s heart is heavy. We don’t move on, but we do move forward.”
