IRVING -- The NFL's review of Adam "Pacman" Jones' scuffle with his bodyguard won't be completed until next week.
The Dallas Cowboys had already said they won't discipline Jones, so that means the cornerback will play Sunday at Arizona.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an e-mail Friday that the league's review won't be completed until next week. He didn't provide a specific time.
It is unclear if the league will take any punitive action against Jones, who only six weeks ago was fully reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell from a 17-month suspension, including the entire 2007 season, that followed a series of off-field problems.
Jones got into a scuffle at an upscale downtown Dallas hotel late Tuesday night with one of members of a security detail provided by the team to be with the cornerback at all times.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the player broke no team rules, but said he was disappointed about the incident.
Adam Jones has started all five games for the Cowboys, and likely will start Sunday.

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow will spend a second night in the hospital with an undisclosed illness that could keep him out of Monday night's game against the New York Giants.
Winslow was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic on Thursday. He practiced Monday but had been feeling ill for several days and the team sent him to the doctor for further tests and evaluation.
Browns coach Romeo Crennel had expected the 25-year-old player to be discharged on Friday, but team spokesman Bill Bonsiewicz said Winslow will remain hospitalized.
Citing patient privacy laws, Crennel did not provide specifics on Winslow's illness.

SAN ANTONIO -- Former Lamar University star Chris Stroud moved into position to make a big jump on the PGA Tour money list, shooting a 6-under 64 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead after the second round of the Texas Open.
The 26-year-old Stroud, 209th on the money list, had a 10-under 130 total on the La Cantera Golf Club's Resort Course. He was a two-time All-America selection and four-time Southland Conference player of the year at Lamar in Beaumont.
Paul Goydos (66), Tim Petrovic (65) and 1997 winner Tim Herron (67) were two strokes back, and Rory Sabbatini (66) was at 7 under.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Magic Johnson criticized a pair of talk show hosts Friday for accusing him of faking AIDS but said he didn't want them to be fired.
Chris Baker and Langdon Perry of KTLK in Minneapolis made the remarks during Baker's conservative radio show on Wednesday. After Johnson condemned the statements, the station said it regretted "some offhand remarks" by the pair.
Johnson called the remarks "so stupid," and said he hadn't heard from the station. He also wants the hosts to keep their jobs.
"I would rather they educate their audience," he said.

Williams, Indiana's first-round draft pick in 2006, was dogged by three incidents involving police in the past 13 months.
The Pacers said they will get two second-round draft picks as part of the trade.
