IRVING, Texas -- For the second straight year, Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain has missed every organized team activity with his absence on Wednesday.

In each of the past two weeks, coach Jason Garrett expressed hope that McClain, who the coach said is dealing with a family matter in Alabama, would be at the following week's OTAs. That wasn't the case last week or this week.

While the OTAs are voluntary, the Cowboys will hold their mandatory minicamp next week. If McClain or any player does not report for the minicamp, he will be subject to a fine of up to $76,580.

"Every day in this league is precious," defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said last week. "It's precious. So much has been cut down, so every day is meaningful."

McClain spent most of the 2015 offseason in Alabama rehabbing from knee surgery. He reported to the mandatory minicamp but did not take part in a training camp practice in Oxnard, California, as he worked his way into shape. He was suspended the first four games last season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

In 11 games last season, he was credited with 97 tackles, two sacks, nine tackles for loss, 10 quarterback pressures, one interception and three pass deflections.

The Cowboys signed McClain to a one-year deal in March that included a $750,000 signing bonus and $1.25 million base salary. For every week he is on the Cowboys' 46-man roster, he can earn an extra $125,000, maxing out at $2 million. He can also earn up to $1 million in incentives.
