Even though he plays for the Cowboys' rival Redskins, Washington tackle Ty Nsekhe is still finding ways to show his love for North Texas.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Nsekhe is donating 10 tickets to Thursday's Cowboys-Redskins game to Dallas police officers and families that were affected by July's ambush sniper shooting.

"I'm just hoping to just bring some light," Nsekhe, who went to Arlington Bowie before playing for Texas State in college, told the Post. "One day of joy. I don't know if they've been able to see a Cowboys game before. If they haven't, hopefully it's a great experience for them."

He said the idea to give back came from a friend still in North Texas.

Originally he planned to included Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant in covering the tickets, according to the post, but Nsekhe's friend decided not to reach out the Bryant after his father died.

The tickets were bought through the Officer Down Foundation.

"It's good to see people out there still support the police," officer Jorge Barrientos, who was injured during the shooting, told the Post.
