IRVING, Texas --?Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain?has been?suspended for the seasons first 10 games for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy, the league announced.McClain, 26, was suspended the first four games of last season for violating the policy.In March, the Cowboys re-signed McClain to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. He is set to receive a $1.25 million base salary and could earn $125,000 for each game he is on the 46-man roster, maxing out at $2 million. He also has $1 million in playing-time incentives.Per the collective bargaining agreement, McClain could be forced to repay the $750,000 signing bonus he received as part of the deal. McClain faces the possibility of being released, however, which would preclude the Cowboys from seeing the bonus money returned.It is another chapter in a tumultuous career for McClain, who was the eighth pick of the 2010 draft by the Oakland Raiders. He was released after the 2012 season in which he was deactivated for the final five games. He retired twice, including after a stint of about one month with the Baltimore Ravens in 2013.The Cowboys acquired McClain in a trade from the Ravens on July 1, 2014, after losing Sean Lee to a season-ending knee injury.

Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said McClain was given some slack. However, that appeared contrary to Garretts thoughts, as the coach said twice McClain was expected to be at the second and third weeks of OTAs.Defensive end Randy Gregory will be suspended the first four games.?DeMarcus Lawrence, who led the Cowboys with eight sacks last season, also is suspended for four games after his appeal was denied Thursday.McClain will be eligible to return to the Cowboys active roster on ?Nov. 21 following the teams Nov. 20 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
