Pacman may get nod

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRVING, Texas -- Call him Adam Jones or Pacman. Maybe even call him a starter.

Because the team is wary of cornerback Terence Newman's groin injury, there's a chance Jones will make his Dallas Cowboys' 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 yesterday.

Even if Newman can play and starts, he's likely to get more rest than usual. That means more playing time for Jones in his first NFL game since the Tennessee Titans' finale of the 2006 season.
