NFL: Pacman who? Unknown DBs shine at Cowboys practice


Associated Press

CARROLLTON, Texas — Maybe the Cowboys won’t need Adam “Pacman” Jones back in the secondary after all.

The biggest playmakers at organized team activities Tuesday were a pair of low-profile, third-year defensive backs: cornerback Alan Ball and safety Courtney Brown. Ball had an interception and each player had a couple of deflections, earning praise from teammates and coach Wade Phillips.
The performances came one day after the team backtracked on owner Jerry Jones’ comment that he was considering a reunion with Jones, the cornerback released following a troubled 2008 that included a fight with a team bodyguard and a six-game suspension.
The team has been practicing at a high school stadium since the collapse of its practice facility last month.
