Bryan Broaddus of the Cowboys' official website singled out DT Terrell McClain as a player that is standing out at OTAs. These non-contact practices are just a bunch of grown men running around in gym shorts, but it's notable nonetheless. McClain is a former third-round pick and has a real opportunity to get his career on track in Dallas under defensive line guru and DC Rod Marinelli. McClain is better against the run than as a pass rusher and is viewed by some as the favorite to start next to Henry Melton.

Cowboys signed DT Terrell McClain to a three-year contract. The Texans declined to tender McClain in restricted free agency, which would've only cost them $1.431 million. A smallish (6'2/293) defensive tackle going on age 26, McClain graded out slightly above average in Pro Football Focus' 2013 run defense grades, and negatively as a pass rusher. He's not going to make a difference in Dallas, but the Cowboys simply need bodies up front.

Texans signed DT Terrell McClain. DE David Hunter (foot) was sent to injured reserve in a corresponding move. The No. 65 pick of the 2011 draft, McClain was waived by the Panthers at final cuts before spending one week on the Patriots' active roster. Abysmal against the run to this point in his young career, McClain might not get many snaps to prove himself in Houston.

Patriots waived DT Terrell McClain. The Pats often pick up street free agents to be used in a specific matchup only to be discarded a week or two later. McClain played 11 snaps versus Bills in his only week with the club.

Patriots signed DT Terrell McClain. The Panthers gave up on McClain at final cuts even though he was the No. 65 overall pick in the 2011 draft. He'll get a shot to cure his run-stopping woes as a rotational lineman in New England.

Free agent DT Terrell McClain worked out for the Bears this week. McClain was the 65th overall pick just two drafts ago. The Bears are always on the lookout for defensive line depth, particularly after cutting Brian Price only five weeks into his stint with the club.

Panthers waived 2011 third-round DT Terrell McClain. The No. 65 overall pick one season ago was dumped to make room for Dwan Edwards, who was cut by Buffalo on Friday. McClain entered the NFL with production and size-related question marks, but the DT-needy Panthers took a shot. Prior to hitting injured reserve with a December knee injury, McClain ranked out as the league's worst starting defensive tackle vs. the run last season, according to Pro Football Focus.

Panthers placed DT Terrell McClain (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Already a bottom-tier run defense, Carolina will lose both rookie third-round defensive tackles, as Sione Fua suffered a hamstring injury as well. Pro Football Focus grades McClain as the least effective starting defensive tackle against the run this year. The Panthers are going to have to address the position in 2012.

The Panthers will rotate defensive tackles Terrell McClain, Sione Fua, and Andre Neblett against the Cardinals this week. Rookies McClain and Fua are still adjusting to the speed of the NFL after the shortened offseason. This is the best matchup Beanie Wells will face all season, and he needs to be in starting lineups. Rotoworld ranks Wells 11th among fantasy backs in Week 1.

Third-rounder Terrell McClain has begun splitting first-team reps with Corvey Irvin at defensive tackle. Irvin, a disappointment to date, had been running with the starters throughout camp. After a strong performance against the Giants last week, McClain now has a shot to unseat Irvin at the three-technique spot next to fellow rookie Sione Fua.
