Prescott spoke to reporters about an initiative called “Huddle 94,” which will be attached to Kneeland’s name which will help the team communicate better with each other off the field. Kneeland died by suicide on Nov. 6, 2025 and was posthumously diagnosed with Stage 1 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, commonly known as CTE.

You’re getting to bring up conversations of how people felt about him and what he meant to us.” The quarterback has previously struggled with his own depression and anxiety following his brother’s suicide and he spoke about needing to prioritize mental health back in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. He’s missed greatly from a lot of people around here, and in this organization.
