DeCamillis suffers broken back as storm levels Cowboys' facility

"I saw it coming down and didn't have time to react," Cowboys secondary coach Dave Campo said. "I hit the ground and was able to get back up."

DeCamillis, hired by the Cowboys a few months ago, likely will need surgery to fix "a couple of broken vertebrae" in his lower back but is expected to recover, said his father-in-law, Dan Reeves, a longtime NFL coach.

DeCamillis was among 10 people taken away by emergency vehicles. Two others went to hospitals on their own.

"Right now, I think we don't have anybody who is in a life-threatening situation," said Dr. Paul Pepe, head of emergency medical services for Dallas County.

Thanks

for those links. This is horrible. Joe D always seemed like a good guy and you hate to hear bad things happening to good people. I hope he will be OK.

This never would have happened if he had stayed in Jacksonville.

Best of luck Joe D.
