ARLINGTON, Texas -- The NFL is giving Adam "Pacman" Jones another chance.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday the suspended cornerback has been reinstated by league commissioner Roger Goodell, but he must miss two more games -- this Sunday and the following game on Thanksgiving. He'll be back Dec. 7 at Pittsburgh.
Goodell suspended Adam Jones indefinitely on Oct. 14, saying he'd put a timeframe on it after the cornerback missed at least four games. This decision means it will be a six-game suspension. Jones also missed the entire 2007 season. By the time he returns, he will have been suspended from 22 of a possible 28 games.
His yearlong suspension was for repeated legal troubles while with the Tennessee ans. Over the offseason, he was traded to Dallas and then given another chance by Goodell. The Cowboys gave him a bodyguard to help keep him in line, but on Oct. 7, Jones got into an alcohol-related scuffle with the bodyguard during a private party at a Dallas hotel.
Now, he's getting another chance. The league did not immediately make any comment.
"He's just chomping at the bit to get back and come back and be successful," teammate Tank Johnson said Wednesday, before the announcement. "He knows we're all with him and we're never going to turn our back on him and as soon as he gets back it will be business as usual. I can't wait to have 21 next to me in the locker."
Jerry Jones said Adam Jones could return to practice Monday. The owner said the player would have "limited participation" this week, but would not be part of full-squad practices or conditioning.
Quarterback Tony Romo said Jones will be welcomed back into the locker room.
"When he was here he worked very hard and he helped us," Romo said. "He's a good football player and I don't see why you wouldn't welcome a guy back that works hard on the practice field."

this guy will never make the money he could have made. no team can trust him. i wonder what the over/under is on pacman on when he will be gone again and most likely for good..
They should save face and cut him.
That made me laugh - he's a very good player, if they cut him, someone else will pick him up.
How will this effect the team chemistry now that they have gotten a lot of their players back and are coming off a hard win in Washington? If that dude was an asshole in the locker room then he'll probably up any emerging chemistry. If he was a decent guy then I hope it won't mess it up too much. The Cowboys have to win the next two and go into Pitt at 8-4 to really get a leg up on the wild card.
we probably wont need him in that game. im guessing there will be 293395 feet of snow, and Pitt will throw it like eight times.
this guy is an idiot
with our secondary, if he's able-bodied, I'll take him.

who cares what they do given several chances typical cowboy fan just wants the w
Of course we "just want the w", are you ing re ed?
true but pacman is close to be an exception to the rule. for some i wouldn't blame them for not liking any team with the pacman on it. the guy does have some responsibility for the guy who was paralized in vegas. my opinion. after all the arrest added to that he gets one more chance by the league and he gets into a fight with his security in a hotel bathroom while drinking. the guy is dangerous.
