The Dallas Cowboy cornerback-kick returner Adam "Pacman" Jones is now fully reinstated from his 17-month NFL suspension, which followed an accumulation of arrests and legal problems. After being cleared almost three months ago by commissioner Roger Goodell to practice, he is now clear to play during the regular season.
Jones was suspended in April 2007 and missed all last season with the Titans. He was traded to Dallas in April, and was then allowed in June by Goodell to join the team in training camp and preseason games.
Jones, acquired by Dallas from Tennessee, has been arrested six times and involved in a dozen incidents requiring police intervention since the Titans drafted him in the first round in 2005. That includes his connection to a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club. His last NFL game was Dec. 31, 2006.
Since with the Cowboys, Jones had repeatedly expressed confidence that he would be reinstated for the season and said he was doing everything expected of him. AP
