Hat tip Blogging the Boys among others. Redskins Insider:
Cornerback Shawn Springs has been excused from Redskins Park - he wasn't here yesterday- to be with his father, Ron, 50, a former NFL player who is hospitalized in Dallas.
Will keep you posted and my thoughts and prayers are with Shawn, Ron, and the Springs family.
According to published reports, Ron Springs slipped into a coma during a procedure to have a cyst removed from his elbow Saturday and is not doing well at all. Some reports quote anonymous former teammates as saying Springs is on a respirator.
