PFT: Rolando McClain won’t return to Cowboys next week

[Reality]

The same may not be true of linebacker Rolando McClain. McClain will be eligible to return from his 10-game suspension next week, but Jones said Thursday, via Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, that McClain will not be returning to the roster.

“He’s in shape. Rolando is really somebody who helped us when he was here, but I really don’t want to get into when or if he might be joining us. I’ve communicated with him several times in the offseason and talked to him on the phone. Yes, he does want to play, but there is more detail that I’m not going to get into right now.”

He is expected to remain on the reserve/did not report list.

We know the more detail already.. He's been sippin on that purple.

I'm ready to move on. He won't make us much better defensively imo. Can't rely on that guy.

Just squeeze 1 more year out of Durant and hope Jaylon recovers.

He loves his purple so much he's destined to play for the vikes!

 

[EST_1986]

if he is in shape and can contribute bring him on

 

[reddyuta]

Translation,he is on Jerrys plane if one of our starters get hurt.

 

[BAZ]

I doubt he is in shape.

Apart from the first year with Dallas I don't remember him ever being that.

If it's too complicated for him to play if he's in shape, then we probably need to just not count on him.

Thought that's why he went to the Ravens

Next week is a short week, so it makes sense not to bring him in and rush things.

It makes more sense not to bring him in at all.

Waste of skin

could we use jaylon on the outside and draft rueben foster to play the mike? if we could maybe sign wilkerson in fa, draft foster,replace carr, resign mo, draft a safety.......our defense would really improve, yes?

 

[1972COWBOY]

This calls for a round of purple dank for everybody!!!!!!

Sounds like Jerry talked to Garrett and Garrett said no. Which is exactly what I keep saying - Jerry doesn't call the shots, Garrett does. Technically Jerry could of course as he is the owner, but he doesn't. Despite the overwhelming amount of people on this forum who are wrong about this reality.

That actually doesn't make since. If your bringing him back you want him in the building ASAP to start working with the team. But yes he wouldn't play right away.

Evidence for any of that?

Yes, I spoke to Jerry and Garrett this morning.
