For the third time this offseason, a key member of the Cowboys defense has been hit with a suspension.

The team announced on Thursday that Rolando McClain has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2016 season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

McClain now joins teammates DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory on the NFL's suspension list.

Gregory, who was suspended in February, was docked four games for violating the same policy as McClain.
