Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent failed a second drug test and was sent back to jail on Thursday, according to the Dallas County District Attorney's office. Despite Brent's return to jail, the Cowboys have no immediate plans to part ways with him, league sources told ESPN's Ed Werder. A Dallas County judge held Brent's bond "insufficient," the DA said. The DA had filed a motion on Tuesday asking a judge to revoke Brent's bond because it was revealed he failed a drug test taken on June 19. Brent was out on bail after being charged with intoxication manslaughter resulting in the death last year of best friend and teammate, Jerry Brown. Brent is still on the Cowboys' 90-man roster. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team would have no comment and Brent's agent, Peter Schaffer, said he's aware of everything involving the case, but wouldn't comment further.

Cowboys Josh Brent Will Likely Be Suspended For A Season Or More By NFL The NFL is expected to have a decision about Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent sometime next week. Brent was charged with intoxication manslaughter last December after he was involved in an accident that killed fellow teammate Jerry Brown. Since that incident, Brent has also failed two drug tests seemingly increasing the punishment expected to be doled out by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell soon. The Cowboys organization has been very patient with Brent. Many believe it is because his mother pleaded with them to give her son another chance. After failing the additional drug tests, I’m not sure he has any left. The Dallas Morning News’ Tim Cowlishaw thinks Dallas inaction concerning Brent could actually hurt them. - See more at: http://thelandryhat.com/2013/07/12/...ikely-be-suspended-for-a-year-or-more-by-nfl/
