Little Hope for Former Cowboy Springs

Posted by Matt Loede on October 18th, 2007 filed in News

Former Cowboys running back Ron Springs reportedly has no hope to survive. The “Dallas Morning News” reports the 50-year-old is in a coma and has been unconscious since soon after he entered Dallas Medical City Hospital last week. The paper also says that friends believed Springs went to the hospital to have a cyst removed from his arm. The Cowboys website indicates the cyst was removed, and a former teammate said Springs has been on a respirator since the surgery and no brain activity has been detected. Springs, who is the father of Redskins cornerback Shawn Springs, also had a kidney transplant in March. Former teammate Everson Walls donated the kidney.
