Rolando McClain is suspended for the first 10 games of the regular season and hasn’t reported to training camp, leaving the Cowboys down one linebacker they thought would be in the lineup for them this season.

Executive vice president Stephen Jones said on Monday that the team would be looking at a few other options on Tuesday. Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News reports that the group includes former Eagle Emmanuel Acho and former Giant James Morris.

Acho, who went to high school in Dallas before attending the University of Texas, was cut by the Eagles before the start of last season. He played 20 games and made two starts during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Morris had two tackles in six games for the Giants last year and was waived in May. George reports that Quayshawn Nealy is also working out. Nealy was waived by the Cardinals when they signed Donald Butler last week and has also spent offseason and/or practice squad time with the Seahawks and Buccaneers.
