IRVING, Texas — Adam "Pacman" Jones is finally back where he's wanted to be — on the field. And, after more than a year out of the game, he's already showing his new teammates some of his playmaking skills.

For the second day in a row, Jones had an interception and sprinted toward the end zone during team drills with the Dallas Cowboys.

"I feel real good to get around my new teammates and start working on what we've got to do for the future, which is winning, learning the defense," Jones said after practice today. "I feel good to be back on the field."

It was Jones' second day of offseason workouts with the Cowboys since commissioner Roger Goodell said this week that Jones could join his new team at practice. It was the first session open to the media, and the first with Pro Bowl receiver Terrell Owens also on the field.

"I think football-wise, he's in good shape," coach Wade Phillips said. "It's a learning process, certainly, but you can tell his natural skills. ... It's up to him, obviously, we all know that and he knows that, but the football part, we're trying to get him ready and I think we will. He's really talented."

Jones worked out at cornerback, and on kickoff and punt returns. On defense, Jones was matched up against Owens on a couple of plays, but no passes came their way when they were together.

Just like at the end of his first practice with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Jones intercepted a pass — thrown by third-stringer Richard Bartel, not Pro Bowl starter Tony Romo.

Owens missed Tuesday's practice, when he was in New York for NFL business before returning to Texas to sign his new $34 million contract through the 2011 season. Owens said he looked forward to working against Jones.

"I'm pretty sure it's going to be some heated battles," Owens said before they had been on the field together. "It's going to be a challenge. ... It's all about competition. I feel like if I can go against some of the best every day, it makes the games that much easier."

Jones, acquired by the Cowboys from Tennessee in April, can also take part in training camp and preseason games, but remains suspended from the regular season. Goodell will rule on that by Sept. 1, six days before the Cowboys' opener.

Jones missed all the 2007 season while suspended from the NFL following an accumulation of arrests and legal problems, including his connection to a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club.

"The past is the past. I made some bad decisions and I owned up to all my decisions," Jones said. "Now I worry about the future."
