'Pacman' Jones' status still in limbo

Suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones must keep waiting to find out whether he can resume his NFL career.

When commissioner Roger Goodell punished Jones last month, he said the suspension would be reviewed after four games -- and the fourth was Sunday. So now the wait is on for Goodell to make a ruling.

"Nothing to report on it," league spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an e-mail Monday.

Coach Wade Phillips said Monday he didn't have any details.

"As far as I'm concerned right now, he's gone," Phillips said. "We're preparing the players I have. ... If it turns out that he does come back and he is ready, I'll prepare that."

BUCS' GRAHAM HURT: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Earnest Graham injured his right ankle during a victory over the Minnesota Vikings, and coach Jon Gruden said the running back's season "could be in jeopardy."

Graham was hurt on his only carry in Sunday's 19-13 win, limping off after landing awkwardly when he was tackled after a 3-yard gain.

GIANTS' JACOBS HAVING MRI: Giants running back Brandon Jacobs was having a precautionary MRI exam on his knee, although coach Tom Coughlin said he didn't think the injury was serious.

RAMS' PACE, JACKSON OUT: St. Louis Rams offensive tackle Orlando Pace will be out two to four weeks after injuring a knee in Sunday's loss at San Francisco.

Coach Jim Haslett also counted out running back Steven Jackson, who will miss his fourth game in five weeks with a persistent thigh injury.

HASSELBECK APOLOGIZED TO CARDINALS: Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is apologizing to the Arizona Cardinals for saying they should be fined for hard hits against him Sunday.

Hasselbeck said Monday he still regrets saying an hour after Seattle's 26-20 loss in which he threw three interceptions that he was looking forward to the league fining some Cardinals.

TEXANS' SCHAUB OUT LONGER: Quarterback Matt Schaub's recovery from a left knee injury will take longer than the two to four weeks initially projected.

Schaub has been out two weeks with an injured medial collateral ligament and coach Gary Kubiak was far more candid Monday about his condition than he has been since the injury. Kubiak said it could be another four weeks.

VIKINGS' WILLIAMSES TO MEET WITH NFL: Minnesota Vikings defensive linemen Kevin Williams and Pat Williams will meet with NFL officials to appeal their suspensions after testing positive for a weight-loss diuretic considered a masking agent for steroids.

The NFL will hear the appeals later this week. Additional appeals will be heard on Tuesday for three New Orleans Saints: running back Deuce McAllister and defensive ends Charles Grant and Will Smith.

All are subject to four-game suspensions. There is no indication when the NFL's decision will be announced.
