Dallas Cowboys scout Rich Behm underwent spinal cord surgery after being injured during the collapse of the team’s indoor practice facility, according to Matt Mosley of ESPN.com.

“Rich Behm could really use your prayers right now,” Mosley wrote. “I’m told that head coach Wade Phillips and owner Jerry Jones were both with Behm’s family at the hospital Saturday night. From what I’ve been told, Behm certainly has the most serious injury of the 12 people who received treatment.”

Meanwhile, the outlook is reportedly promising for special teams coach Joe DeCamillis, who required surgery to repair two broken vertebrae.
