Actually he was having the MRI redone because the symptoms was telling them something other than a torn ACL they are not sure what it is so they wanted to make sure. I haven't read anything about his new MRI yet so I doubt they put him on IR before they get the results....

Cowboys | Adams Undergoes Second MRI
Tue, 18 Oct 2005 13:01:48 -0700
Updating previous reports, Nick Eatman, of DallasCowboys.com, reports Dallas Cowboys OT Flozell Adams (knee) underwent a second MRI on his injured knee Monday night, Oct. 17 because his symptoms did not suggest a torn ACL, which is basically what the first MRI revealed. If the second MRI is more conclusive and Adams did suffer a torn ACL, then he will undergo surgery this week and be placed on Injured Reserve, ending his season.
This is the article now on DC.com
IRVING, Texas - With Flozell Adams expected to be placed on
injured reserve on Wednesday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament
in his right knee, the Cowboys went looking for depth and a possible
replacement at left tackle.
The Cowboys worked out about eight players Tuesday here at Valley
Ranch, including three tackles with experience. Included in that group
of tackles were former Bears first-round pick Marc Colombo, former
Bills tackle Marcus Price and seventh-year veteran Ethan Brooks, who
last played for the Baltimore Ravens.
The Cowboys are leaning towards signing Brooks, who has started 23
games in the last three years with the Ravens. Brooks was in the Jets
training camp this summer, and has bounced around on four different
teams since being drafted in the seventh round by Atlanta in 1996.
And it appears this is how the Cowboys will fortify the tackle position
since the NFL trade deadline passed at 3 p.m. (CDT) without the
Cowboys making a move.
Among the other players working out for the Cowboys were wide
receivers J.R. Tolver and Ahmad Merritt, who went to camp with the
Cowboys but received an injury settlement on Aug. 24 after he
suffered foot injury in a preseason game in Seattle.
The Cowboys were holding out hope Monday night Adams' knee
injury might not be season-ending. But a second MRI test confirmed
their worst fears - that indeed Adams had torn the ACL in his right
knee, requiring season-ending reconstructive surgery.
Adams suffered the injury during the second half of Sunday's game
with the Giants. It was the third time he went down in the game. Adams has played in all 118 games of his career since
joining the Cowboys in 1998.

Iff Flo not on IR - OT not signed.
Contradicting reports everywhere. Truth appears we have officially done nothing.
If someone can post definitive link to official sign of OT and fact that Flo is on IR today - kudo's.
Please post it. Appears it all happens tomorrow.

Jerry Jones said they have agreed to terms. It is official on Flo. At least it looks like Julius and Dat will be back this week...
Adams' injury puts Jones in somber mood

IRVING – Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones expects running back Julius Jones and linebacker Dat Nguyen to play this week, but he is having a difficult time getting over the loss of Pro Bowl left tackle Flozell Adams.
Adams suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Sunday's game against the New York Giants and will miss the rest of the season.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
"I don't know if I can put into words the loss," Jones said. "That was a vulnerable position for us. When you lose a left tackle, you don't replace them."
The Cowboys will try with Torrin Tucker and seven-year veteran Ethan Brooks, who has agreed to terms, according to Jones.
Brooks, 6-6, 330 pounds, made seven starts with Baltimore last season, including two starts at left tackle. He was with the New York Jets during training camp.
But losing Adams, who had made 107 consecutive starts, is a big blow.
"When you get a really top player, a Pro Bowl-type player, and you lose him, you're going to take a hit," Jones said. "And everybody has to deal with it and the consternation that it brings."
Crayton still on active roster: Wide receiver Patrick Crayton had surgery Tuesday on his injured right ankle and is expected to miss six to eight weeks, but the Cowboys will keep him on the active roster for now.
The Cowboys could place Crayton on injured reserve, which would end his season, if the rehab process goes slowly.
Peerless Price is expected to take over Crayton's role as the third receiver.
"There's nothing broken, which is the good news," Crayton's agent Fred Lyles said. "He had some ligament damage, but he doesn't have a high ankle sprain, which is good."
Briefly: The Cowboys worked out three receivers Tuesday – Ahmad Merritt, who performed well in training camp before suffering a foot injury, J.R. Tolver and Carl Kearney. Tolver and Kearney are practice-squad eligible, and one of them could be added today. ... Linebackers Jay Foreman and Terry Pierce also worked out.
