Check This Out-Dallas,Texas (AFP) — Dallas cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has seen his career threatened by numerous non-sports issues, and now injury will send him to the National Football League sidelines.
Jones has "one, maybe two" herniated disks in his neck and could miss the rest of the season, Dallas head coach Wade Phillips said Wednesday.
"He's out for this game (against the New York Giants) for sure," Phillips said. "And maybe for the season."
Jones, 25, is expected to see Cowboys back and spine specialst Drew Dossett on Thursday before a final decision is made on his status for the remainder of the season.
He was hurt injured on a botched punt in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That was the first game back for Jones after an NFL-imposed four-game suspension for an altercation with his bodyguard at a Dallas-area hotel in October.
The incident came just seven weeks after he was reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell following a 17-month suspension that caused him to miss the entire 2007 season.
Since alcohol was involved in the October incident, Jones' actions violated terms of his previous reinstatement.
Jones has a history of legal problems - including six arrests - since entering the league as a first-round draft choice of the Tennessee Titans in 2005-There goes their playoff chances
