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

He probably had this coming! How about the security guard that he helped get paralyzed for life from the nightclub incident?
what comes around goes around!

It was reported last night that those claims were exaggerated. It's true his season is over, but his career won't be over.....at least not due to the herniated disc. :nohead:

Thought to be out for the season because of a neck injury, Jones returned to practice Wednesday and is expected to play Saturday night, both at cornerback and returning kicks, after having missed only one game.
Coach Wade Phillips said the herniated disk discovered last week has healed, perhaps because he already had the problem and it was only aggravated by a hit he took two games ago in Pittsburgh. That was his first game back with the Cowboys after being suspended six games for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
"He's got nine lives," Phillips said. "Maybe he's got 18."
Phillips said the reversal in the diagnosis came from a re-evaluation. Doctors were originally going to wait three weeks but decided to try again sooner and were glad they did. He said Jones would've been put on injured reserve last week if doctors had been sure there was no chance of him returning this season.
"It just wasn't as bad as we thought," Phillips said. "Once it was treated, it was better. ... They said he's ready to go. He seems ready."
Dallas (9-5) plays the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night in a game between teams vying for wild-card berths in each conference. Having Jones back helps because it frees cornerback Anthony Henry to play more at safety, where the Cowboys are running out of healthy players. Starter Ken Hamlin didn't practice Wednesday and may not all week; he didn't practice last week but played in the game.
Tony Romo remains stiff and sore because of a back injury but went through most of practice. Phillips said he improved as he went along and is counting on Romo to play against the Ravens.
Running back Marion Barber missed practice and may be a game-time decision for the second straight week because of a dislocated pinkie toe on his right foot.
