IRVING, Texas (AP)A Dallas Cowboys scouting assistant was permanently paralyzed from the waist down after his spine was severed during the collapse of the teams tent-like practice structure in a severe storm.
The team announced Rich Behm was in stable condition at Parkland Hospital on Sunday after surgery to stabilize a fracture to the thoracic spine.
The 33-year-old Behm was among a dozen people hurt in the accident Saturday, and was one of three Cowboys staffers who remained hospitalized.
