Cowboys practice facilityNew NFLPA executive president DeMaurice Smith, who was in Irving, Texas last week, called Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and spoke with Dallas player reps Greg Ellis, DeMarcus Ware and Jason Witten regarding the collapse of the team's practice facility on Saturday.

Smith also talked with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Jeff Pash, the league's executive vice president and chief counsel, about the incident that sent 12 people to the hospital and left Cowboys assistant scout Rich Behm paralyzed.

Smith is trying to make sure everyone involved is OK, and offer some support from a union standpoint. Smith is expected to leave Washington and head to Buffalo on Tuesday. He doesn't have plans to return to Irving, according to union spokesperson Carl Francis.
