Report: Goodell reinstates Adam Jones

---

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has reportedly reinstated cornerback Adam Jones.

The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday that Goodell had granted the former Titans cornerback his reinstatement, clearing the way for Jones to return to the field, this time as a member of the Dallas Cowboys.

Jones, then with Tennessee, was suspended for the entire 2007 season by Goodell for violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Jones had numerous run-ins with the law in just two NFL seasons, including an alleged involvement in a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club during the NBA's All-Star weekend in February 2007. That incident left an employee of the club paralyzed from the waist down.

The 24-year-old Jones, formerly known as "Pacman," was dealt from the Titans to the Cowboys in late April in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.

Goodell had partially reinstated Jones this past June, allowing him to practice and play in preseason games with the Cowboys.
