Pacman Jones denied early return to the Titans

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell denies suspended Adam "Pacman" Jones early return to the league.

Pacman Jones denied early return to the Titans Suspended Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones will sit out his entire suspension, was the decision of commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday. Pacman Jones will be eligible to return to the NFL after the Titians' season has ended and that includes playoffs. Jones was suspended in April of 2007 for violating the NFL personal conduct policy by raking five arrests in less than two years. Earlier last week Pacman Jones met with Goodell to plead for an early return, but the commissioner wasn't impress with the cornerback's "community service" and denied Jones an early return. "He will be eligible to begin working out at the Titans' facility following the conclusion of the team's season," was the NFL's official statement.

Adam "Packman" Jones, who was drafted by the Titans in 2005, had a brief gig in pro wrestling during his suspension, but the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling opted out to extend his contract after the Tennessee Titans got an injunction that limited his physical contact to prevent any injuries. The Titans said they have expected the suspension to remain and have taken measures to continue the season without him.
