The Cowboys — or at least owner Jerry Jones — have stood by Rolando McClain despite his latest suspension.
But the strange career of the former top-10 pick has taken yet another turn.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, McClain wasn’t on the Cowboys team plane to California for training camp, with no apparent explanation.
While McClain is suspended for the first 10 games of the regular season for his latest substance abuse policy violation, Jones has been in his corner throughout.
McClain was also missing for a large portion of the voluntary offseason work, which reportedly angered his coaches. Then again, Jones denied that and said coaches were lobbying for McClain’s return, so maybe he’ll make another excuse for a guy who has had plenty made for him.
