Pacman Jones May Start In Place of Terrence Newman Against Browns

He hasn't played in an NFL game in over a year ... but Adam ~~DigDug~~ Pacman Jones may be a starting CB on Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys visit the Cleveland Browns.

Terrence Newman has been sidelined with a groin injury and may not be ready on Sunday.

Coach Wade Phillips said the team has limited Newman's activities in practice the last two days as a precaution. If Newman isn't ready, Adam Jones will start at left corner despite missing the entire 2007 season.

A decision could be made today.

"I don't think he's completely back yet," Phillips said. "That's why I say we're being cautious. We want to see how it feels [today]."

Newman could play as a nickel or dime back -- limiting the amount of plays he'd be on. Hopefully, it won't keep him off the roller coasters.

Terrence Newman Rides a Roller Coaster for the First Time in His Life, Screams Like a Girl

I have no idea why Terrence Newman would invite the Dallas Morning News along to document his virgin roller coaster voyage, but I would like to thank him for doing so. (Click the photo below for the moving pictures hilarity.)

I now have a new favorite prayer: "Dear Baby Jesus -- dear 6-pound, 8-ounce Baby Jesus, don't let anything happen to me while I'm on Tony Hawk's ride. Please let me make it, dear Lord, please don't let me fall off this ride, dear Lord ... and we're going, dear Lord ... inJesusnameIprayamen."

And it looks like we also have an answer to the question: is Chris Henry the only player to wear his game jersey outside work? The biggest difference, I think, is that Newman didn't brandish a firearm while off-duty.

FanHouse NFL Season Preview: Dallas Cowboys - The Time is Now!

Training camps are underway, the NFL season is a month off, and to get you ready for 2008, FanHouse previews all 32 teams, "heat index" style. We'll rate each club in 10 categories on a scale of 1 to 10, high score wins.

Quarterback: We know that Tony Romo isn't a fluke. He stepped in last year and had another fantastic season, setting team records in the process. There are questions remaining about distractions (Romessica) and winning a playoff game (none in his two years) which Romo must answer if he wants to take a place among the NFL's elite. Dallas is putting all their eggs in that basket as the only fallback if Romo gets hurt is 39-yr old Brad Johnson who isn't quite the risk taker. Heat Index: 9

Running backs: It's rare when a team loses their starting running back and everyone is fine with the position. Julius Jones is gone, but rookie Felix Jones is in. Jones (Felix) will get a ton of carries this season to keep Marion Barber fresh. Barber, who only started the Cowboys' playoff game, is the NFL's version of Mariano Rivera -- he dominates late in games and finishes drives off. Jones and Barber will combined for that classic "lightning and thunder" combo and should be quite successful doing it in what supposed to be a more run-friendly offense. Heat Index: 7

Terrence Newman Out Three Weeks With Groin Tear

Cowboys Pro-Bowl cornerback Terrence Newman will sit out the next three weeks due to a groin tear:

"I'm not worried at all, it's not that severe of an injury," Newman told Tyler, Texas, radio station KTBB-AM 660 on Tuesday. "... Being so early, you don't want to rush to get back and then have to deal with something else down the line. A lot of times, one injury can lead to another injury if you do rush back because you're compensating one way or another, so we're just taking our time, letting it heal and trying to get ready towards the end of camp."

Now, the Cowboys do have depth at that position. Anthony Henry had a fine season last year, Dallas drafted Mike Jenkins in the first round in April's draft and the team added Pacman Jones in a trade.

According to head coach Wade Phillips, Jenkins will be the starter opposite Henry for now. Jones is being used as Henry's backup on the right side.

Newman was injured last preseason (foot) and missed the first two games of the regular season. Everyone is hopeful that Newman won't miss any of the season, but groin pulls are known to stick around for a while.

Dallas Cowboys' Terrence Newman: 'I Don't Need the Money ... I Just Want to Be Paid'

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Terrence Newman has one year left on his contract with the team, and he's already thinking about getting a new deal. And he tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that although he doesn't need to get the kind of eight-figure signing bonus that the top cornerbacks in football can get, he does want it:

"I would like to stay here in Dallas, but I don't need the money," Newman said. "I definitely want to be recognized as one of the top corners. I just want to be paid as one of the top corners.''

The knee-jerk reaction to a guy saying he just wants the money even though he doesn't need it is to describe him as greedy, but I actually understand exactly where he's coming from. The quality-of-life difference between making $5 million a year and making $10 million a year is minuscule, but when a team shows a player the money, it's also showing the player respect. It makes sense for Newman to want the money that he doesn't need.

Terrell Owens Hurt In Carolina

Cowboys WR Terrell Owens has left the game tonight with the Carolina Panthers with an apparant ankle injury. Owens ran a short curl, slipped, made the catch and had his ankle rolled on during the tackle. Owens winced in pain immediately but got up and limped to the sideline.

On the next play, the Cowboys scored. However, when Dallas offense took the field for the next series, Owens wasn't out there. A few plays later, Owens went into the locker room.

Needless to say, we will update this whenever we hear anything.

Also, Cowboys All-Pro CB Terrence Newman has also been hurt in this game. He walked off the field gingerly after Carolina's DeAngelo Williams stiff armed him back about 5 yards.

UPDATE: NFL Network showed Owens walking in the bowels of Bank Of America Stadium with his shoes off pointing to his left ankle. Drew Rosenhaus, his agent, flanked him.
