Los Angeles (AFP) - Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has voiced support for defensive star Greg Hardy following the emergence of graphic photos showing injuries suffered by the player's battered former girlfriend.

Jones said in a statement issued late Friday that the Cowboys had not seen the photos showing the abuse before they decided to sign Hardy earlier this year on a lucrative one-year contract.
