Jones Says Behm Will Always Have Job With Cowboys

  Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he's preparing to welcome scouting assistant Rich Behm back to work, but it's not known when that will happen.

 

"We don't speak to his medical condition and I do know he's rehabing out of his home," said Jones. "What we are doing is working to really make the workplace fit his needs."

 

The Cowboys scouting assistant was paralyzed from the waist down when the roof of the Cowboys practice field structure was torn apart by strong winds from a severe thunderstorm.  Eleven others were also injured.

The entire Dallas Cowboys coaching staff was inside the bubble at the time, as well as 27 players who were participating in the May 4th offseason practice.

A CBS 11 Sports crew was also on the scene during the collapse. Reporter Steve Dennis was just outside the bubble during the incident and photographer Bret Kelly was actually inside the bubble shooting video.

 

Work on a new practice field is under way at the same location, in Irving, but a spokesman for the Cowboys says the organization hasn't decided if it will be covered.

 

Jones has promised to help the Behm financially. In addition two fundraisers have reportedly netted more than $100,000 for the Behm Family Trust.
