A health scare on the Cowboys’ sideline occurred midway through the third quarter of Dallas’ 30-10 win over the New York Jets at AT&T Stadium.

I was literally standing behind Floyd when it happened. Initially, I thought Coach Floyd was celebrating Parsons’ big play because his arms were splayed out, like he was going to do a snow angel. But it was quickly apparent this was not because Floyd was out cold, and the paramedic on the sideline, as well as the Cowboys medical staff, were johnny-on-the-spot to help Coach Floyd.

Dr. Robert Fowler, who along with the UNC conducts the cognitive evaluations on the Cowboys sideline, conducted an evaluation on Floyd inside the tent. They wanted to make sure Floyd did not suffer a concussion when his head hit the ground after he passed out. Floyd was alert and able to answer their questions, and then walked under his own power to the medical room located in the east tunnel, a separate on-site medical facility from the X-Ray room which is located up the west tunnel.

Cowboys assistant coach Sharrif Floyd has been released from the hospital & will work from home today. The plan is for him to return to The Star on Tuesday, a person w/ knowledge of his condition said.September 18, 2023This is Floyd’s second stint with the Cowboys, but his first year as a full-time member of the staff. He interned with the Cowboys defense last year as part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship before returning to University of Florida as an assistant coach.
