Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain will not be eligible to return to the team Monday when his current suspension ends, as he has reportedly been suspended an additional year on top of the 10-game ban he is serving.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, McClain recently missed a drug test, which is treated as a positive test. Another failed drug test for McClain would trigger a one-year suspension. The 27-year-old is expected to appeal.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said earlier in the week that McClain’s status would remain the same even when his 10-game suspension is lifted, possibly indicating Jones knew about the most recent missed drug test.
“His status will remain how it is today,” Jones said. “He will remain as he is today. And I don’t have a lot more to say about this.”
McClain has reportedly been abusing a dangerous homemade concoction that has resulted in him being extremely out of shape. It would not be a surprise if he never plays in the NFL again.
