Linebacker Rolando McClain had his suspension lifted by the NFL's commissioner on Nov. 21. He'd served his 10 games for violating the league's Program and Policy for Substances of Abuse.
But instead of rejoining the Dallas Cowboys, the former Alabama All-American remained on the NFL team's reserve list - specifically, reserve/did not report - where he'd been since failing to report for training camp in July.
On Nov. 20, there were reports that McClain had missed a drug test during his suspension and would be suspended for a full year by the NFL.
