Cowboys' scouting assistant paralyzed in accident
Horrible news from the freak storm that leveled the Cowboys' indoor practice facility yesterday. Rick Behm, a scouting assistant, suffered a severed spinal cord and sustained permanent paralysis from the waist down. He underwent surgery last night and remains at Parkland Hospital in stable condition, according to the Dallas Morning News.
"To the Behm family we extend our love, comfort, and the full support of every person and resource within the organization," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement released by the team." Rich is a courageous member of our family and someone for whom we care deeply. We ask for all friends and fans of the Dallas Cowboys to join us in embracing him and his family with their thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time."
The release also stated special teams coach Joe DeCamillis will undergo surgery Monday for a fracture of one of his cervical vertebrae. He is in stable condition without paralysis at Parkland Hospital.
Assistant athletic trainer Greg Gaither had surgery Saturday to repair a fracture of his right tibia and fibula at Baylor University Medical Center. He should be released later this week.
