Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam ‘‘Pacman’’ Jones was suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Tuesday for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

Jones will miss the next four games, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will determine the final length of the suspension after the Cowboys’ game in Washington on Nov. 16.

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

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.’’
