Cowboys Say 'Pacman' Will Stay In Lineup
Source: KCRA 3 Sports
IRVING, Texas -- Troubled cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones is still in the lineup for the Dallas Cowboys after his latest incident involving police.
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said Thursday that Jones will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, and owner Jerry Jones said the team didn't plan any discipline after the player got into a scuffle with his bodyguard Tuesday night in the bathroom of an upscale Dallas hotel. Police were called, but there were no arrests or charges filed.
Team owner Jerry Jones said he was "very disappointed" over the incident, and Phillips said he addressed the situation to the team and was trying to get the squad to focus on Sunday's matchup against Arizona.
Adam Jones was suspended for 17 months by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for numerous off-field problems. He was arrested six times and involved in 12 incidents requiring police intervention.
Goodell said in a radio interview with ESPN on Thursday that the league was investigating the matter and he was "disappointed that we're even discussing this at this point in time." He said he didn't speak with Adam Jones individually during a previously scheduled meeting with the entire Cowboys team Wednesday night.
Drafted in the first round by Tennessee in 2005, Jones was among the Titans' best defensive players for two years until Goodell suspended him before the 2007 season. The Titans distanced themselves from Jones and eventually traded him to Dallas for draft picks.
The highest-profile incident involving Jones was a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club that left one club employee paralyzed. Jones denied involvement in the shooting.
