 McDonald's court date for Monday was cancelled and no new date
will be scheduled "unless or until charges are filed," the Santa
Clara County district attorney tweeted Friday. However, McDonald's
case will continue to be investigated.
McDonald was arrested at his home Aug. 31 on suspicion of felony
domestic violence. Police said McDonald's fiancee had "visible
injuries." McDonald was later released on $25,000 bail. He has not
been charged.
The 49ers and NFL have allowed McDonald to play since his arrest,
saying they are waiting for the legal process to play out until
taking any actions regarding discipline.
However, a league source told ESPN that if "any damaging information
or facts are documented by the investigation and charges are filed,"
the 49ers would reconsider how they approach McDonald's situation.
---San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis left Sunday's game against
Philadelphia with a back injury and did not return. The extent of
the injury is not known.
---Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis continues to consider making a
coaching change and offensive coordinator Greg Olson is a strong
candidate to replace Dennis Allen if he is fired, CBS Sports
reported Sunday.
Recently, assistant head coach/offensive line coach Tony Sparano was
considered the favorite to take the helm on an interim basis if
Davis decides to part with Allen.
However, Olson has been credited with helping develop rookie Derek
Carr, the starting quarterback. Having a coach already in place to
continue that development reportedly makes Olson an attractive
candidate.
