Adam Jones gets 4-game suspension — at least

When the Bucs play the Cowboys on Oct. 26 in Irving, Texas, Dallas will be missing more than just QB Tony Romo and RB Felix Jones.

Here at the NFL owners meetings at the Vinoy, the NFL has just announced CB Adam "Pacman" Jones will be suspended for the next four games, and possibly more, for another violation of the league's personal conduct policy.

The league's official press release says Jones is suspended indefinitely, saying commissioner Roger Goodell will decide the exact length of the suspension after the Cowboys' Week 11 game against Washington. The decision on whether he can return "will be based on Jones' strict compliance with his NFL and Dallas Cowboys treatment plans as well as on evaluations of Jones' progress that will be provided to Commissioner Goodell by clinical experts retained by the NFL."

Jones was involved in an alcohol-related physical altercation with his team-employed bodyguard on Oct. 8 in Dallas that resulted in police being called. In a letter today to Jones, Goodell said Jones has displayed "a disturbing pattern of behavior and clearly inconsistent with with the conditions I set for your continued participation in the NFL."
