The Dallas Cowboys were able to improve to 2-0 on Sunday after defeating the New York Jets. But some of the positivity from the win was dampered after an incident involving Cowboys defensive line coach Sharrif Floyd.
Floyd fainted on the sideline in the third quarter of Sunday’s game, and was looked at by medical personnel during the game. He was then transported to the local hospital to have additional tests run on him.
Luckily, we have a positive update on Floyd that emerged on Monday. According to David Moore of Dallas Morning News, Floyd has been released from the hospital and will return to Dallas on Tuesday.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones spoke about the situation as well on Monday and offered even more positive news on Floyd.
Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Monday, where he said that “everything is checking out well” for Floyd in his recovery.
It’s obviously great news that Floyd appears to be fine following this incident, and that he is even going to likely be available on the sidelines for the Cowboys’ next game.
Floyd and the Cowboys will look to keep their winning ways rolling in Week 3 when they face off against the Arizona Cardinals.
