McClain (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
McClain was unable to practice all week, but he will try to play through the discomfort in his knee Sunday. How long he lasts, however, is anyone's guess. If his knee doesn't hold up, or if he needs more rest than usual, look for the Cowboys to sprinkle in some snaps for Anthony Hitchens more frequently.

McClain (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
While McClain has not been ruled out for Sunday's game, he did not practice at all this week, so it would seem he is more likely to sit out than suit up.

McClain (knee) missed practice for a second day in a row Thursday, but the Cowboys are hopeful that he'll be able to take part in Friday's drills, ESPN Dallas reports.
That hope extends to McClain's availability for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars in London. If he fails to attain active status, Anthony Hitchens (chest) will man middle linebacker in McClain's stead.

McClain (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday versus the Cardinals, Bryan Broaddus of the Cowboys' official site reports.
McClain's will be key in slowing down Cardinals running back dynamo Andre Ellington, as the linebacker aims to build upon 38 tackles (29 solo), two interceptions, one forced fumble, and one sack in seven games.

McClain (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game against Arizona.
McClain has established himself as Dallas' top linebacker by now, so the fact that he's prepared for Sunday is good news for the Dallas run defense.

McClain was limited in Thursday's practice, the Cowboys' official site reports.
McClain's return to practice is a positive step, but Friday's injury report will ultimately intimate his potential availability Sunday versus the Cardinals. Because he's on track to play, he'll look to further bolster his 38 tackles (29 solo), three passes defended, two picks, one forced fumble, and one sack in seven games on the season.

McClain (groin) is probable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
McClain practiced only Friday, but his groin injury is evidently manageable enough to let McClain suit up despite limited practice work. He's been a strong addition for the Dallas defense and is coming off a four-tackle, one-interception game against the Seahawks.
