"Perzley previously spoke to Kneeland that Tuesday, hours after Kneeland ran down a blocked punt in the end zone for a touchdown on "Monday Night Football." Dallas had ultimately fallen to the Arizona Cardinals 27-17, and Perzley said Kneeland was more focused on his team's loss. "It was a normal day," Perzley said in an interview with ESPN. "He's happy, but he would want to be better. He'd want to win.""

Police said they searched for Kneeland for nearly three hours, and while they looked, they received information that he had expressed "suicidal ideations." During their search, his girlfriend called law enforcement to say Kneeland was armed, had a history of mental illness and that he would "end it all," according to various news reports, citing dispatch audio."
