As the Dallas Cowboys prepare to play their Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, they are doing so with heavy hearts.

Defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland was found dead on Nov. 6 from a self-inflicted gun shot wound, just days after the Cowboys' Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals. After the team went on its bye week, the Cowboys return to the field this Monday night against the Raiders in their first game since the incident.

Dallas has decided to honor Kneeland in different ways ahead of their game in Las Vegas. Here's how Dallas is remembering Kneeland.

Cowboys honor Marshawn Kneeland

This game marks the first game for the Cowboys since defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland died on Nov. 6. Therefore, Dallas is honoring their former player in multiple ways ahead of Monday night's game against the Raiders.

First, the Cowboys kept Kneeland's locker in tact, with the defensive lineman's jersey hanging in its usual place.

Additionally, the Cowboys produced pre-game t-shirts with Kneeland's face printed on them for the players to wear during warmups.

During the rest of their games this year, the Cowboys will be wearing decals on their helmets featuring Kneeland's No. 94.

Defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton, who was Kneeland's position coach for two years, wore Kneeland's jersey to the stadium as the Cowboys arrived at Allegiant Stadium.

During the game, quarterback Dak Prescott is wearing a wristband with the words "ONE LOVE RIP 94!" Written on it.

The Cowboys will continue to honor Kneeland through the season, especially in their home game against the Philadelphia Eagles next week.
