    Oakland Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, according to source with knowledge of the situation. The Raiders, and the NFL, continue to investigate the details of McClain's Thursday arrest on charges of discharging a firearm within city limits, third degree assault, menacing, and reckless endangerment in his Alabama hometown. Raiders coach Hue Jackson could opt to make a pre-game decision to the contrary, but for now the source said the team has not planned to discipline him for this game. Should it become clear to the Raiders that McClain is guilty of anything close to what he was accused of, the team will not refrain from taking considerable discipline against him. The Raiders' efforts to gather information continues, but at this point, McClain is being treated as innocent of everything other than perhaps bad timing and a lack of some common sense.
