IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Troubled cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones is still in the lineup for the Dallas Cowboys after his latest incident involving police. Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said Thursday that Jones will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Phillips also said he had no indication that Jones would be suspended after getting into a scuffle with his bodyguard Thursday night in the bathroom of an upscale Dallas hotel. Police were called, but no charges were filed.

Jones was suspended for 17 months by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for numerous off-field problems. He was arrested six times and involved in 12 incidents that led to police involvement.
