Past knee injury Kneeland (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Kneeland has missed six of the Cowboys' last seven games after undergoing knee surgery in early October. His full practice participation Thursday indicates that the rookie second-round pick should be available to play Monday against the Bengals, barring any setbacks.
DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Unable to suit up Thursday Kneeland (knee) is inactive for Thursday's Week 13 contest against the Giants.
Impact Kneeland's inactive status was expected, as he entered Thursday deemed doubtful to play after not practicing all week. It will be the rookie defensive end's sixth absence in Dallas' past seven games after he underwent knee surgery in early October. With Kneeland out Thursday, Tyrus Wheat could see more defensive work in a rotational role.
NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to play against Giants Kneeland (knee) did not practice Wednesday and is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Kneeland returned from a five-game absence due to a knee injury this past Sunday against the Commanders, and he finished the contest without recording a tackle across 17 defensive snaps. However, he was unable to participate in any walkthroughs or practices this week, and it's unlikely that he'll play in Thursday's NFC East clash. If Kneeland is inactive, Tyrus Wheat and Carl Lawson would serve as the Cowboys' rotational defensive ends behind starters Micah Parsons and Chauncey Golston.

Logs back-to-back DNPs Kneeland (knee) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Impact Kneeland returned from a five-game absence against the Commanders in Week 12 and did not record a stat across 17 snaps on defense. He was held out walkthroughs Monday and Tuesday, but if he's able to practice Wednesday, that should be enough for him to play against the Giants on Thursday.
NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Making return Sunday Kneeland is not among Dallas' inactives for Sunday's Week 12 game against Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kneeland missed the Cowboys' last five games following knee surgery, but he was activated off IR on Saturday and is set to suit up against the Commanders. The rookie's workload had been inconsistent prior to his injury, as he had logged between 17 percent and 55 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps over the first four weeks. Kneeland will likely continue to play a rotational role now that he's back in action.
NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Activated off IR The Cowboys activated Kneeland (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, and he is expected to play against the Commanders on Sunday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegr...
Impact Kneeland suffered a partially torn meniscus in his knee during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Steelers, which required him to undergo surgery and be placed on injured reserve. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and after logging limited practices all week, he was activated off IR on Saturday. Kneeland could see limited snaps on defense Sunday while working his way back up to game speed following a five-game absence.
NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Deemed questionable for Week 12 Kneeland (knee) is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Washington, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Impact Kneeland underwent knee surgery in early October and has been on injured reserve since. He was designated to return Wednesday and logged a trio of limited practices this week. Kneeland is still on IR, so he would need to be activated in order to play Sunday against the Commanders.
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Window opens Kneeland (knee) has been designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Impact Kneeland suffered a partially torn lateral meniscus in early October and had a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline. With six weeks now passed, the Western Michigan product appears to be on the verge of returning. He will have a 21-day window to practice with the team before needing to be placed back on the active roster; however, he could return as soon as Sunday against the Commanders, if he's healthy enough to do so.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Officially goes to IR Dallas placed Kneeland (knee) on its injured reserve list Wednesday.
Impact It was already established after Kneeland was diagnosed with a partially torn lateral meniscus Monday that he would have to sit out at least four games, so his move to injured reserve isn't a surprise. Carl Lawson and Tyrus Wheat figure to be the primary beneficiaries of Kneeland's extended absence in terms of playing time.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Missing four-to-six weeks Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that Kneeland will undergo surgery on his knee Tuesday and will miss four-to-six weeks, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kneeland was feared to have sustained a torn ACL after leaving early in the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Steelers, but he's since been diagnosed with a partially-torn lateral meniscus and will have it repaired Tuesday. With the rookie from Western Michigan sidelined for the immediate future, he will likely be a top candidate to land on injured reserve. Expect Tyrus Wheat and KJ Henry to see increased work in Dallas' edge rusher corps while Kneeland recovers.

Avoids torn ACL Kneeland was diagnosed with a partially-torn lateral meniscus after an MRI on Monday and is expected to return to action this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact It's actually quite good news for Kneeland, who was feared to have torn his ACL during Sunday's win at Pittsburgh. He'll still have to miss some time though, and Carl Lawson figures to see an uptick in playing time in that case.

Undergoes imaging Kneeland (knee) is waiting for MRI results Monday to determine the severity of the injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Steelers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site...
Impact Kneeland was carted to the locker room in the first quarter after suffering the injury and was unable to return. With Dallas around down DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) and possibly Micah Parsons (ankle) for Week 6, any missed time for the Western Michigan product could be a significant blow to the Cowboys' defensive front.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Done for night Kneeland (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest with the Steelers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Kneeland went down with a knee injury in the first quarter, ultimately requiring a cart to get to the locker room. The Cowboys will now turn to Carl Lawson and Tyrus Wheat to replace Kneeland on the defensive line versus Pittsburgh.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers knee injury Kneeland (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Kneeland suffered a knee injury on the Steelers' first possession of the game, putting his status for the rest of the contest in question. Kneeland stepped into a starting role in Week 5 with Micah Parsons (ankle) unavailable and Carl Lawson may be the next man up in Kneeland's absence.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to play Sunday Kneeland (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against New Orleans and is expected to play, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Kneeland progressed throughout the practice week, going from DNP Wednesday to limited Thursday and then full Friday. He recorded three tackles (two solo) and a pair of QB hits in the Week 1 win over the Browns while playing 58 percent of the defensive snaps.
SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Practices Thursday Kneeland (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
Impact Kneeland opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday due to a calf issue, but he was able to participate in a restricted capacity Thursday. His participation during Friday's practice will provide clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's game against New Orleans. The rookie second-round pick registered three tackles (two solo) and one pass defended in the Cowboys' Week 1 victory over the Browns.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Logs DNP Kneeland (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
Impact Kneedland played 42 defensive snaps in his NFL debut Week 1 against the Browns. However, it appears the rookie picked up an injury along the way that will keep him sidelined Sunday. He'll work to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday, as the team preps for Sunday's game against the Saints.

What's 'Best-Case Scenario' For Cowboys' Marshawn Kneeland? Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland has been flashing in camp and in games, but what is the best-case scenario in 2024 for the ro...
AUGUST 24 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Continues to shine in camp Kneeland has gotten the attention of both coaches and teammates for his work ethic and drive to improve in training camp, Nick Harris of DallasCowboys.com reports.
Impact Selected in the second round of the 2024 Draft due to his athleticism rather than his production at Western Michigan, Kneeland has been thrust into a bigger role in the Cowboys' edge rotation due to Sam Williams' season-ending knee injury, but the rookie is rising to the challenge. "Marshawn's been great in camp," defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer said. "He's working real hard on some of the pass rush stuff, because I don't think he was as efficient in doing that. He's been great against the run. He's a worker and I think he's going to continue to work." Teammate Micah Parsons was just as effusive in his praise, and threw out the name of an eight-time Pro Bowler as a comp for Kneeland's upside. "I think he's going to be a great player," Parsons said. "I'm giving him comps, I think he's a young Cameron Jordan. I think he has the talent and ability. He's just so hungry every day, willing to learn and he has that dog in him. He has unteachable characteristics." Even Jordan only recorded 1.0 sack in 16 games as a rookie in 2011 though, so while Kneeland could see a bigger workload than Dallas planned this season, he's unlikely to make a big impact from an IDP perspective.

In line for bigger role Kneeland is the top candidate to take on a bigger role in the Cowboys' pass-rush rotation with Sam Williams (knee) out for the season, Patrik Walker of the team's website reports....
Impact A second-round pick in the 2024 Draft, Kneeland didn't produce big numbers in college at Western Michigan but has a strong athletic profile that should allow him to handle snaps both inside as a 3-technique and on the edge of the defensive line. Williams' injury could push the rookie to the outside more than originally expected, however. Kneeland could wind up as a better run-stopper than pass rusher, but he has a couple of excellent mentors in DeMarcus Lawrence and assistant coach Greg Ellis, who recorded 84.0 sacks in a 12-year career spent mainly in Dallas.
