Oakland Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain has been informed by the team that he will be released on Thursday, a source told ESPN.com's John Clayton.

Raiders coach Dennis Allen says he told McClain not to come to practice Thursday after the player was held out for team-related issues.

"There's going to be consequences to his actions and it's a team-related issue," Allen said. "I don't really want to get into the details of it. We asked him not to come to practice today."

Allen said McClain has not been suspended and remains on the 53-man roster but would not speculate on what the future held for the linebacker.

"This is something that we've got to make a decision as an organization, and we're going to make sure that we make the right decision," Allen said.

McClain reportedly wrote on his Facebook page he no longer was a Raider, then deleted the post.

McClain was the eighth overall pick in the 2010 draft after helping Alabama win a national championship. He has struggled so far in his career and has had his playing time sharply reduced in recent weeks.
