Newman's injury could turn Pacman into starter

IRVING - Call him Adam Jones or Pacman. Maybe even call him a starter.
Because the Dallas Cowboys are wary of cornerback Terence Newman's groin injury, there's a chance Jones will make his Dallas debut as part of the starting lineup Sunday in Cleveland.
"Yeah, if we didn't start Newman, Adam Jones would start," coach Wade Phillips said Thursday.
Even if Newman can play and starts, he's likely to get more rest than usual - which still means more playing time for Jones in his first NFL game since the finale of the 2006 season, when he was with Tennessee.
"I don't have a preference," Phillips said. "I wouldn't want to hold back Adam if that was the case. I feel good about how he's played and he is ready to play."
Newman missed nearly all of training camp, and the entire preseason, while dealing with a slightly torn groin muscle. He returned to practice last week.
