The Baltimore Ravens reinstated linebacker Rolando McClain on Thursday afternoon but the team is reportedly in no rush to decide whether they should keep him on roster or cut him loose now that he’s back in the league.

According to Jamison Hensley from ESPN.com, the Ravens have no timetable when it comes to their decision on McClain and rushing it is not in the cards.

#Ravens aren't making any immediate decision on Rolando McClain. So, don't expect any resolution on this Friday or over the weekend.

McClain s now on his fourth or fifth chance in the NFL after burring bridges in Oakland after just a few seasons in the league. His off-field issues followed him to Baltimore where he got into trouble not very long after singing with the team.

He chose to temporarily retire in order to get his life back on track and now that it appears he has, the Ravens have a decision on whether to give McClain yet another chance to cleanse themselves of him right away.
