Dallas Cowboys special teams coach Joe DeCamillis was among about a dozen people injured this afternoon when the roof on the team’s practice facility in Irving, TX collapsed during a violent storm. The roof came down during a severe thunderstorm while the team was going through the second day of a three-day rookie minicamp. According to the National Weather Service, the storm was producing winds measured at 64 mph just before it struck the Cowboys facility.

“This worked out very, very well from a medical point of view. Right now, I think we don’t have anybody who is in a life-threatening situation.”
