ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Cowboys won't return to their practice facility until after training camp and have no immediate plans to replace an indoor structure destroyed in a storm.

The May 2 accident at the team's complex in Irving left 12 people hurt.

Owner Jerry Jones said Thursday the team is letting a federal investigation into the collapse of the tentlike structure "run its course." Jones said he's making plans to have the practice fields ready when the Cowboys return from San Antonio in August.

The Cowboys are now practicing at a high school stadium in nearby Carrollton.

The roof came down in a thunderstorm during a rookie workout.

Dallas scouting assistant Rich Behm (BEEM) was paralyzed below the waist, and special teams coach Joe DeCamillis (dee-kuh-MIL'-iss) broke his neck. DeCamillis returned to practice this week.
