Jerry Jones says no curfew violations for Cowboys

On Sunday, a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Media had Cowboys coaches and some players upset about 20 members of the team missing Friday night curfew in London.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has responded to the report. Jones told Ian Fitzsimmons of ESPN Radio that there were no curfew violations on Friday night because the team didn’t have a curfew.
That’s different from what Rapoport reported, obviously, and it is also different from what Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said this week while discussing how his players would fill their time when the team wasn’t practicing.
“We get done with our work at 5:15 p.m. every day and then curfew is at midnight, so the guys have some time on their own,” Garrett said, via Mike Fisher of 105.3 The Fan.
It’s not the first time that Jones and Garrett have sent disparate messages about what’s going on with the team and the curfew issue will blow up into something bigger if the Cowboys don’t take care of business against Jacksonville. The mixed signals won’t be a great look even if that doesn’t happen, but it will be easier for the Cowboys to move onto other things in the immediate aftermath of the game.
