McClain (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

McClain was unable to practice all week, but he will try to play through the discomfort in his knee Sunday. How long he lasts, however, is anyone's guess. If his knee doesn't hold up, or if he needs more rest than usual, look for the Cowboys to sprinkle in some snaps for Anthony Hitchens more frequently.

McClain (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, the Cowboys' official site reports.

McClain has endured a groin injury throughout much of the season, but his shoulder is currently a bother.

McClain (groin) is back at practice Friday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill reports.

McClain missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a personal matter, but he is also battling a lingering groin injury, so they days off probably helped.

We'll know more after the Cowboys release Friday's official injury designations.

McClain won't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a personal matter, the Dallas Morning News reports.

McClain has followed such a practice schedule in three of the last four weeks in order to tend to a groin strain.

McClain (groin) didn't partake in practice Wednesday.

McClain has been quite disruptive, when active, totaling 23 tackles (19 solo) one sack, one interception, and one forced fumble in parts of four contests. However, after aggravating his ailing groin in Week 5, he'll likely enter the weekend with questionable status for Sunday's outing in Seattle.

McClain, who aggravated his groin injury in Sunday's win over the Texans, looked better than expected when checked out by team trainers on Monday, the Dallas Morning News reports.

McClain only played 54 percent of Dallas' snaps in his last game, but he should see close to a full workload Sunday since Bruce Carter is out with a thigh issue.

It was Bruce Carter's turn to come up lame on Sunday, so assuming that McClain is back up to full speed he should be line for a much better IDP performance next week against the Texans.
