ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has suspended Adam "Pacman" Jones indefinitely for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Jones was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle with one of his bodyguards at a private party in Dallas on Oct. 7.

The league said the Dallas Cowboys cornerback will miss the next four games, and Goodell will determine the final length of the suspension after the Cowboys' game in Washington on Nov. 16.

In a letter Tuesday to Jones, Goodell called the latest incident the continuation of "a disturbing pattern of behavior and clearly inconsistent with the conditions I set for your continued participation in the NFL."

The NFL's investigation comes six weeks after Goodell reinstated Jones from a 17-month suspension after several run-ins with the law while with the Tennessee Titans.
