IRVING, Texas (AP) -Cowboys special teams coach Joe DeCamillis has become just the fourth recipient of the Special Courage Award.
The only previous honorees in the NFL were Dick LeBeau (2008), Vince Papale (2006) and Eddie Jones (1999).
DeCamillis oversaw offseason practices two weeks after surgery to repair a broken neck and missed only two days after undergoing an emergency appendectomy that also led to a hernia repair this past weekend.
Dallas players wanted to recognize DeCamillis for how he’s overcome such major setbacks. As a coach, he’s not eligible for the Ed Block Courage Award, so he received this rare honor.
Offensive lineman Kyle Kosier was the club’s Ed Block Courage Award winner, as voted on by his teammates.
