Cowboys Ron Springs In A Coma
Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs has been hospitalized in a coma, more than seven months after receiving a kidney donated by ex-teammate Everson Walls. The Washington Redskins said Tuesday cornerback Shawn Springs, son of the 50-year-old Springs, has left the team to be with his father. It wasn't immediately clear what caused Ron Springs, who has diabetes, to lapse into a coma or when he was hospitalized.
Springs had suffered from diabetes for 16 years and had been on the national transplant waiting list since 2004. The donated kidney from Walls was the first transplant between two former U.S. professional athletes.
