'Pacman' Already A Hit At Cowboys Practice

IRVING (CBS 11 News) ― A year out of football was not enough to keep Pacman Jones from making an immediate impact in his first practice with the Dallas Cowboys today.

Within the first two minutes of his first practice with the Cowboys, Jones intercepted a Richard Bartel pass and returned it for touchdown.

Players leaving Valley Ranch after practice today told CBS 11 Sports that Jones looked good.  

Today was the first day Jones was allowed to join his new teammates for off-season workouts after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell lifted the year-plus suspension of the troubled defensive back yesterday.

Jones is now allowed to participate in practices, training camp and preseason games with the Cowboys.  Goodell suspended Jones in April, 2007 after a series of arrests and other legal problems.  He played for the Tennessee Titans at the time, but the Titans traded Jones to Dallas in April, 2008.  

If Jones can continue to follow the NFL's personal conduct policy and stay out of trouble with the law, the commissioner will allow him to play with the Cowboys in the regular season.

Jones has been arrested six times since he became an NFL player in 2005.
