IRVING, Texas ó Adam “Pacman” Jones can join the Dallas Cowboys for everything but the regular season ó for now.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday he would decide by Sept. 1 whether to fully end Jones’ suspension, which wiped out the entire 2007 season when he was with the Tennessee Titans. The Cowboys play their opener Sept. 7 in Cleveland.
Getting Pacman back for so long, so soon is good news for Dallas. Hours later, the club had more reason to celebrate, agreeing to a three-year contract extension with receiver Terrell Owens that’s worth about $27 million, according to a person close to the negotiations who requested anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced.
Jones could be in action as soon as Tuesday, the team’s next organized practice.

– EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. ó Tom Coughlin added another former Jacksonville player to the New York Giants roster, signing defensive end Renaldo Wynn on Monday.
A former first-round draft pick with the Jaguars in 1997, Wynn played five seasons with Jacksonville, four with the Washington Redskins and last year with the New Orleans Saints. He has 25 career sacks.
– DENVER ó The Denver Broncos cut mercurial running back Travis Henry, with coach Mike Shanahan saying Monday the move was more about Henry’s personality than his play.
GOLF
UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio ó After playing four difficult days at the Memorial, Davis Love III made it through 36 holes on Monday to qualify for his 18th consecutive trip to the U.S. Open.
Love’s streak of 70 consecutive majors ended when he failed to qualify for the Masters, and there were no guarantees he would play in the next major until he followed a 72 at Brookside with a 5-under 66 to become one of 23 players to earn a trip to Torrey Pines.
NBA
DAVIE, Fla. ó For months, Alonzo Mourning insisted that this season would be his last in the NBA.
Unless, of course, it isn’t.
Mourning, whose season ended when he suffered severe knee and leg injuries in a game last December, said Monday that if his body gets healthy, he’d like to come back and play one more season before finally calling it a career.
