Cowboys rookie Jourdan Lewis to stand trial for domestic violence charge

Jourdan Lewis, the Dallas Cowboys third round pick, will stand trial on Monday for one charge of domestic violence after a pretrial hearing on Thursday. Lewis, who was charged with the misdemeanor in March, allegedly grabbed a woman's neck and held her to the floor for several seconds before storming out of their apartment. Lewis asserts that any contact was incidental to him trying to leave the apartment. Police didn't see any injuries when they arrived.

Owner Jerry Jones said that they vetted Lewis thoroughly for the allegation, and were content with what they...
