Troubles are mounting for Jerry Jones, but he can handle it all.
The Dallas Cowboys’ season-opening news conference in Oxnard, California, featuring owner and general manager Jerry Jones, has been postponed from Wednesday to Saturday due to a court case involving Jones. A team spokesperson confirmed the delay as Jones is set to testify Monday in a Texarkana courthouse.

Jones has countersued Alexandra Davis, who claims to be his biological daughter, alleging a breach of a contract signed by Davis’ mother in 1998 when Davis filed a paternity lawsuit in 2022. This lawsuit was later dropped, and a subsequent defamation suit brought by Davis was dismissed in March. Before Davis’ attorneys can appeal the dismissal, a decision must be made on Jones’ countersuit.
