Suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has entered an alcohol treatment center.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says the player checked into a facility "in another part of the country." The treatment plan is overseen by the NFL.
The NFL suspended Adam 'Pacman' Jones indefinitely -- without pay – on October 14, for violating its personal conduct policy. At the time, the cornerback was expected to miss at least four games.
The suspension came after it was revealed Jones was involved in a fight at a Dallas hotel on October 7. Sources told CBS 11 News that the scuffle between Jones and his bodyguard was over whether or not the player should have been attending a private party at the Joule Hotel.
The incident occurred only six weeks after he was reinstated from a 17-month suspension because of repeated legal troubles.
With the announcement of Jones' suspension, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell called the latest incident the continuation of "a disturbing pattern of behavior and clearly inconsistent with the conditions I set for your continued participation in the NFL."
Jones, who witnesses say was drinking, attacked the bodyguard in the bathroom of the upscale hotel. The unidentified bodyguard told witnesses and authorities at the scene that Jones is prone to bad mood swings when he has been drinking.
No charges were ever filed.
