Report: Adam Jones headed for alcohol treatment

Thu 16th, October 2008

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - Dallas Cowboys suspended cornerback Adam Jones will reportedly begin alcohol treatment at an undisclosed location somewhere in Dallas.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Jones, who was suspended indefinitely without pay Tuesday by the NFL for an alcohol-related altercation with a personal security guard at a Dallas hotel last week, will begin treatment on Thursday.

The 25-year-old Jones was not disciplined by the Cowboys, but NFL commissioner Roger Goodell decided to suspend Jones for his latest incident.

In a letter to Jones, Goodell described his findings as "a disturbing pattern of behavior and clearly inconsistent with the conditions I set for your continued participation in the NFL."

Jones will be able to apply for reinstatement after he misses four games.

Before the season, Goodell reinstated Jones, formerly known by his nickname "Pacman," after a one-year suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Jones, then with the Tennessee Titans, 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.
