"Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has been cleared to return to the team Monday, but won't play in a game for another two weeks, owner Jerry Jones said this afternoon.
"I think he has done what he has been asked to do," Jerry Jones said after a news conference in Arlington to announce the new Cowboys stadium as host site for the 2014 NCAA Men's Final Four. "If anybody understands the kinds of things you deal with to get better, it's probably going to be an ongoing thing. I do know that he has a good sense of where he is and how he got there."
However, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league has "nothing to report on it at this time."
Pacman Jones, who will return to practice Monday, will be eligible to play on Dec. 7 when the Cowboys play at Pittsburgh, Jerry Jones said.
"I have been working this week on the procedure of having him back. It's just a matter of the commissioner's decision and the commissioner has made his decision," Jerry Jones said. "He [Pacman] will be at our complex this week under some circumstances, but he won't be practicing or conditioning with the team the next two or three days."
Pacman Jones was suspended by commissioner Roger Goodell on Oct. 14 for at least four games after another violation of the league's personal conduct policy.
The suspension came a week after he was involved in an alcohol-related altercation with one of his bodyguards at the Joule Hotel in Dallas. The incident came six weeks after he was reinstated from a 17-month suspension for repeated violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Jerry Jones also said that Pacman Jones, who completed an alcohol rehabilitation program in Boston last week, will no longer have the services of the club's bodyguards.
Some of Pacman Jones' teammates were already anticipating his return."
