It's only April, but Rolando McClain is not in football shape.

The Dallas Cowboys starting linebacker began the offseason workout program with a bit of a weight problem. McClain put on a few pounds after the season ended and there is now some serious concern within the club over the linebacker's health, 105.3 The Fan's Ben Rogers announced Thursday while on air.



Was told a key Cowboy is not anywhere near being in shape. Sounds like there is some real concern there. Will discuss on Thursday's show — Ben Rogers (@BenRogers) April 21, 2016

McClain was spotted in the team's pump-up video for Orlando Scandrick and the cornerback's journey back to the football field. You can see the image of McClain looking a little overweight in the photo embedded below:

With his recent report, Rogers added that he believes the team wants to "light a fire" under McClain so that the linebacker will stay motivated to get back into playing shape.

In 2014, McClain struggled with the Ravens workout program failing his first conditioning test of that offseason. McClain was coming off his brief retirement from football at the time. McClain entered last season a little heavier than his listed 255-pound playing weight. The linebacker was exhausted when he first took to the practice field before his first game of 2015 season after serving a four-game suspension. McClain also had knee surgery last offseason.

Needless to say, McClain has had some issues with conditioning in the past and obviously the concern is real over McClain's current status.
