Cowboys' depth receives another huge hit with this terrible news

Another devastating blow.

Nearly a year to the date from Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain receiving a four-game suspension stemming from substance abuse violations, he's now been hit again, this time for 10 games.

McClain registered 80 tackles and an interception in 11 starts last season. The Cowboys will feel a significant dropoff after opting not to bring back the troubled Greg Hardy, as well as losing McClain to suspension and Randy Gregory and Demarcus Lawrence to four-game suspensions, respectively.

In five seasons, McClain has registered 407 tackles, 9.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and four interceptions.
