IRVING -- Dallas Cowboy Adam 'Pacman' Jones has entered rehab after he was suspended by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirms he's being treated for alcohol addiction in another part of the country but he wouldn't say where.

The NFL is overseeing Jones's treatment.

The commissioner indefinitely suspended him last week after an alcohol-related scuffle with a bodyguard at a Dallas hotel.

That follows a 17-month suspension for other legal problems.

The Cowboys traded for Jones in April. He was suspended for all of last season as a member of the Tennessee Titans after a dozen incidents involving police and six arrests.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, in a letter Tuesday notifying Jones, called it a continuation of "a disturbing pattern of behavior and clearly inconsistent with the conditions I set for your continued participation in the NFL."

The league is calling it an indefinite suspension without pay. Jones will miss at least four games.

Goodell will then determine the final length of the suspension following the Cowboys' Week 11 game against Washington on Nov. 16.

The decision on whether Adam Jones can return to play will be based on Jones' strict compliance with his NFL and Dallas Cowboys treatment plans as well as on evaluations of Jones' progress that will be provided to Goodell by clinical experts retained by the NFL, according to a press release from the NFL.
