Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell attended the funeral Saturday of one of the five Dallas police officers ambushed and killed by a gunman July 7 in the city.Crowell attended at the invitation of Sgt. Demetrick Pennie of the Dallas police. Pennie is also president of the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation.Although, he was initially afraid and skeptical of the environment that he was entering, he traveled to Dallas overnight and met with me for an extended period of time in an attempt to find some resolve in understanding, Pennie wrote in a long post on the Fallen Officer Facebook page.Pennies invitation was intended to open dialogue after Crowells post on social media that showed a hooded man attacking a police officer. Crowell took the post down almost immediately?and later apologized with a statement and a Facebook video.He promised he wanted to be part of the solution in the future. His first step: an offer to donate his first game check to the foundation.I reached out to Mr. Crowell and expressed a disinterest in his money, Pennie wrote. Rather, I told him that I did want an opportunity to educate him about the policing profession and the meaning of police service and sacrifice.Pennies LinkedIn page states that he has been a Dallas police officer and head of the Fallen Officer Foundation since 1999. Before that he spent four years as a corporal in the U.S. Army.I, like most other police officers, was disgusted by the posting; however, to me Mr. Crowells posting represented something much more than just an offensive post. It represented a disconnect in understanding that existed between the police and many in the Black community. A misunderstanding that I have personally been subjected to from my own family, Pennie wrote.Crowell was not available for comment. He is expected to address the media for the first time when the Browns begin training camp July 29.Pennie and Crowell talked for an extended time before the funeral about shared experiences growing up in the inner city. Crowell explained he was caught up in the provocative rhetoric that spewed through the media on a daily basis, Pennie wrote, following police killings of two black men -- Philando Castile just outside Minneapolis and Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.As Crowell expressed remorse, Crowell told Pennie he had received death threats after the post. Crowell fought back tears, and his voice rattled as he spoke, Pennie wrote.On Saturday, Pennie and Crowell spent eight hours together. Crowell met with several high-ranking officials in the state, including Texas police commissioner Rob Kyker. He also met with officers from around the country attending the funeral. Pennie said those officers expressed their appreciation for him seeking forgiveness for his actions and having the courage to admit that he was wrong and making an attempt to redress the problem.The post includes several photos of Crowell interacting with police officers.Crowell told Pennie his visit was humbling, Pennie wrote. He also said it gave him a different outlook on the sacrifices that police officers make every day.

Both ILB Brandon Marshall and CB Aqib Talib, who had returned to practice on Friday, are inactive for todays game.Ty Montgomery (1:50 p.m.): Jay Glazer of Fox Sports is reporting that Montgomery (illness) will not play today for the Packers. Well know for sure once the inactive list comes out but, if true, Knile Davis and Don Jackson would be the emergency fantasy starters to grab from Green Bay.Arizona Cardinals (11:55 a.m.): Both John Brown and Michael Floyd are active for todays game, which maay divert some of the defensive attention away from Larry Fitzgerald.ddddddddddddryce Petty (11:50 a.m.): Should anything befall quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick today, the Jets will turn to Petty, who is now the teams No. 2 option at the position in the wake of the injury to Geno Smith.Detroit Lions (11:45 a.m.): A trio of defenders will sit this one out for Detroit as Darius Slay, DeAndre Levy and Haloti Ngata are all inactive. It remains to be seen if the Houston offense will take advantage of the situation, especially with Lamar Miller, though active, a bit banged up.Joe Haden (11:40 a.m.): Cleveland will play the cornerback, who has been dealing with a groin injury. New Yorks Brandon Marshall will likely have to deal with Hadens presence for as long as he can stay on the field.Washington Redskins (8:10 a.m.): We knew Matt Jones would be out, opening the door for Robert Kelley to handle the rushing duties. The good news is that all of the other major questionables are active, including Josh Norman, who should spend most of the morning shadowing A.J. Green of the Bengals.Tyler Eifert (8 a.m.): There should be no worries about the Cincinnati tight end this week, as the Bengals have declared C.J. Uzomah to be a healthy inactive. They certainly wouldnt do that without being confident that Eifert could play a full 60 minutes.LeSean McCoy (7:40 a.m.): According to ESPNs Adam Schefter, the Bills RB will not be able to suit up against the Patriots today, as he is still nursing a hamstring injury. Mike Gillislee is expected to start in his stead, though he was limited in practice on Friday due to a toe injury of his own.Lamar Miller (7:35 a.m.): The Houston running back is adamant that he will play against Detroit this afternoon, according to the NFL Networks Ian Rapoport. However, even if he does convince the Texans to let him suit up, he may not truly be able to handle a full workload. Tread carefully for fantasy.Julian Edelman (7:30 a.m.): A source tells ESPNs Adam Schefter that both Edelman and TE Martellus Bennett will be able to play for the Patriots today, despite the questionable status for both on the New England injury report.Michael Bennett (7:25 a.m.): The defensive lineman will sit for the first time in his career as surgery is now on tap for a cartilage issue in his knee. The NFL Networks Ian Rapoport says a two- to three-week absence can be expected. Seattles defense is already without Kam Chancellor, so the Saints potent offense should have a solid Sunday.Randall Cobb (7:20 a.m.): The Packers, fearing that Cobbs hamstring injury may linger, are planning to be extra careful with the wide receiver. As such, ESPNs Adam Schefter reports that Cobb is not expected to be active for Sundays game against the Falcons.Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 8 a.m. ET for the London game, 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the later set and 7 p.m. ET for the Sunday night game.
