McClain had his suspension lifted by the league Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain was originally suspended in December of 2016 before being reinstated nearly three years later. He was subsequently released by the Cowboys, then suspended again in December of 2019. With his latest suspension now lifted, McClain is a free agent and is able to purse an opportunity with an NFL team. However, he's 34 years old and hasn't played in an NFL game since 2015, so his chances of latching on with an organization are more than slim.

McClain was suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain was conditionally reinstated to the league prior to the regular season starting, but was released by the Cowboys a short time later. The 2010 top-10 pick has not played in an NFL game since 2015.

McClain was released by the Cowboys on Monday, Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain was conditionally reinstated to the league over the weekend after not having played since 2015. Now 30, the former eighth-overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft has been suspended since December of 2016 for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

McClain (suspension) has been granted conditional reinstatement to the NFL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Now 30 years old, the eighth overall pick from the 2010 draft hasn't played football since 2015, but his pedigree should be enough to earn him a tryout. McClain had his best pro season in 2011 when he piled up 100 tackles (79 solo), five sacks and 14 pass defenses in 15 games for the Raiders.

McClain (suspension) wants to return to the NFL, Matt Zenitz of AL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The No. 8 overall pick from the 2010 NFL Draft last played football in 2015 and was suspended indefinitely in December 2016 for repeated violations of the league's substance abuse policy. McClain will celebrate his 30th birthday this upcoming weekend, so he may have lost a step even if his off-field issues have been sorted out. He's been in contact with the NFL Players Association, starting the process toward reinstatement.

McClain (suspension) was arrested and charged with second-degree possession of marijuana, carrying a firearm without a permit and a misdemeanor equipment violation Friday, Anna Beahm of DecaturDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain was reportedly pulled over for an alleged window tint violation when an officer smelled an odor of marijuana and subsequently conducted a search. The 27-year-old was suspended infinitely by the NFL in December after missing the 2016 season due to violating the league's substance abuse policy.

McClain is suspended indefinitely for violating the league's substance abuse policy, NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain satisfied his previous 10-game suspension at the conclusion of Week 11, but is now facing further discipline due to a missed drug test. The Cowboys reportedly don't expect McClain to play another snap in the NFL.

McClain, currently finishing out a 10-game suspension, will be suspended for a further year after failing another drug test, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones had already said McClain would not be re-joining the team when his current suspension ends Monday, but this may have been the reason why. The linebacker would now not be eligible for re-instatement until next November, and it's entirely possible his NFL career is over.

McClain (suspended) will be placed on the Cowboys' reserve/did not report list, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain has already been suspended for the first 10 games of the upcoming season, but was still expected to report for training camp Wednesday. Since McClain, who skipped most of Dallas' offseason program, remains away from the team, his status with the Cowboys going forward appears increasingly shaky. By placing McClain on the reserve/did not report list, the Cowboys have opened a roster spot, potentially for another linebacker, which, along with the recent signing of veteran Justin Durant, could make McClain more expendable.

The Cowboys have yet to decide on whether or not to release McClain (suspension), reports.

EDGE Analysis

There are some minor financial implications from cutting McClain, namely that the team wouldn't be able to recoup his signing bonus, but the bigger issue seems to be that Dallas isn't comfortable with any of their options to replace him at middle linebacker. If they sign a reliable free agent (a reunion with Justin Durant has been rumored) or one of their younger LBs, such as Anthony Hitchens or Mark Nzeocha, takes a big leap forward in their development though, McClain could wash out of the NFL for good.
