It was first reported by Pro Football Talk, that former Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain has been conditionally reinstated by the NFL. McClain has missed the past three seasons and is currently 30 years old.
McClain will have to follow certain guidelines in terms of requirements and mandates of the NFL substance abuse policy.
The former Alabama middle linebacker was the eighth overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. In three years with the team he started 38 of the possible 48 games before getting cut by the team. He then signed with the Baltimore Ravens only to retire shortly after.
