Kneeland scored the first NFL touchdown of his career in a 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday when he recovered a blocked punt in the end zone.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland has died at the age of 24, the NFL franchise said on Thursday.

The second-year player’s cause of death was not revealed.

Kneeland scored the first NFL touchdown of his career in a 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday when he recovered a blocked punt in the end zone.

The Cowboys said in a statement: “It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning.

“Marshawn was a beloved team-mate and member of our organisation. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family.”

He had played in seven of the Cowboys’ games this season.

Sports: Infantino Gets Re-Election Boost After Securing Asia, Africa’s Backing

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has received a major boost in his bid for re-election after securing the support of both the Confederation of African Football and the Asian Football Confederation ahead of the 2027 FIFA presidential election. The two confederations control 101 votes out of FIFA’s 211-member voting bloc, giving Infantino a strong advantage as he seeks another term in office. The AFC and CAF publicly endorsed Infantino following his confirmation at FIFA’s Congress in Vancouver that he intends to run again in 2027. AFC President Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa praised Infantino’s leadership, stating that FIFA is currently in its strongest position and reaffirming Asia’s continued support since his first election in 2016. Infantino, who became FIFA president in 2016 after the downfall of Sepp Blatter amid a corruption scandal, has overseen major reforms and record revenues during his tenure. Despite criticism over his ties to Donald Trump and controversial changes such as the expansion of the FIFA World Cup to 48 teams, FIFA says the organisation has significantly increased funding for its member associations through the FIFA Forward Program.
