Cowboys Hold Press Conference After Death of Teammate, Arrest of Another

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- Late yesterday afternoon the Dallas Cowboys held a news conference following the death of one teammate and the arrest of another.

Defensive Lineman Josh Brent was released from an Irving jail on Sunday after posting his $500,000 bond for intoxication manslaughter.

His friend and teammate Jerry Brown died.

Yesterday Cowboys Head Coach Jason Garrett said they plan to hold a memorial for Brown.

He also says the Cowboys will stand behind Brent as this difficult process continues.

Garrett said, "We're trying to help him through today. It's a very, very difficult and challenging time for him."

Brent had a prior arrest for DUI while at the University of Illinois in 2009.
