DALLAS (AP) -- Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs was recovering Thursday after receiving a kidney donated by former teammate Everson Walls.
The transplant operation was performed Wednesday at Medical City Hospital in Dallas.
A news conference was being planned for Friday on the transplant, which officials believe is the first time former U.S. professional sports teammates have shared an organ.
