The Bears have yet to say anything about the arrest of defensive lineman Ray McDonald. The authorities are saying plenty.
Via NBC Bay Area, Santa Clara police have confirmed that McDonald was arrested Monday on charges of domestic violence and child endangerment. More information could be released within the hour.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee notes that the arrest occurred at an address belonging to retired 49ers defensive lineman Justin Smith. Smith has not been accused of wrongdoing.
The Bears surely will face pressure to sever ties with McDonald, especially since owner George McCaskey has said that he initially didn’t want to sign the player who was cut by the 49ers after a pair of accusations in 2014.
