Adam Jones Rejoins Cowboys

POSTED: 8:45 pm EST December 2, 2008

(Sports Network) - Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones was put back on the team roster Tuesday after serving his suspension.

Jones was out six games for violating the NFL's player conduct policy. He was suspended for an alcohol-related altercation with a personal security guard at a Dallas hotel. Jones was suspended for violating his reinstatement arrangement, which expected the 25-year-old to refrain from any behavior that put him, his team or the league in a negative light.

Before the season, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reinstated Jones, formerly known by his nickname "Pacman," after being suspended for the entire 2007 season for off-the-field conduct. Then with the Tennessee Titans, Jones had numerous run-ins with the law in just two NFL seasons, including an alleged involvement in a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club during the NBA's All-Star weekend in February 2007. That incident left an employee of the club paralyzed from the waist down.

Jones is expected to be on the field Sunday when the Cowboys play at Pittsburgh. Dallas comes into the game 8-4 and fighting for a playoff spot.

The Cowboys opened a roster spot for Jones by placing safety Pat Watkins on injured reserve due to a neck problem.
