The Dallas Cowboys team jet made an unscheduled landing in Nashville, Tenn. early Monday after an assistant coach became ill.
Strength and conditioning coach Tony Ollison summoned help after the aircraft took off from Charlotte, N.C., where the Cowboys had won a big game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday night.
Team doctors stabilized Ollison's condition before the plane landed in Nashville. Ollison was rushed to Southern Hills Medical Center for further treatment. No further information on his condition was available.
The Cowboys jet continued to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport with the rest of the team, where it landed early Sunday.
Ollison is a six-year veteran of the Cowboys coaching staff. The University of Arkansas graduate was a defensive tackle for the Razorbacks from 1986-90. He now also works as a strength and conditioning coach for the Dallas Desperados indoor football team.
Ollison and his wife Sherry have two sons and are expecting a third, according to a biography on the Desperados' Web site.
