Dallas Cowboys officials were surprised to see nose tackle Josh Brent at Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Brent is on the reserved non-football injury list as a result of being charged with intoxication manslaughter two weeks ago.The Cowboys sent the wrong message by allowing Josh Brent to be present on their sideline during a nationally televised game, writes Dan Graziano. BlogSeveral of Brent's teammates urged him to attend the Steelers game and coach Jason Garrett, who spoke to the player the day before the game, didn't even know about it until pregame warmups."I actually talked to Josh on Saturday and visited with him over the phone for a little while, just checked in with him to see how he was doing, if he needed anything from us," Garrett said. "Again, he was working through a lot of different things in his life, and just to let him know we support him. Our players have been over to his house, and they've been in contact with him and very close to him. So, you know, I didn't actually know he was going to be at the game. But again, we're trying to handle it day by day and work our way through it. We'll have some more discussions about that going forward."Garrett said the Cowboys' players are following the wishes of Jerry Brown's mother, Stacey Jackson.Brown, a Cowboys practice squad player, was killed in a one-car accident involving Brent the day before a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.At the memorial service for her son, Jackson told the players to care for Brent and keep him involved with the team as much as they can. The organization has expressed support for Brent since the accident, while making it known that it does not condone drunken driving.Garrett said Brent left in the third quarter of the Cowboys-Steelers game because he didn't want to be a distraction. The Cowboys were criticized during the broadcast of the game for allowing Brent on the sidelines.
