HEATH, Texas — The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (CPS) is investigating an offseason football workout that resulted in several players being hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis --an official with the agency confirmed on Monday.  The workout involved student-athletes from Rockwall-Heath High School and hundreds of push-ups. The DFPS official wouldn't say anything else other than that the investigation is confidential and results would be sent to the school board upon completion. Coach John Harrell remains on administrative leave until the completion of a third-party investigation by Adams, Lynch, & Loftin, P.
