49ers' Ray McDonald in jail on domestic violence charge

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Ray McDonald is in jail, held without bond on a charge of domestic violence, according to Santa Clara County Department of Corrections records.


McDonald, 29, was booked into the jail on Sunday morning.


The 49ers have not returned a call from USA TODAY Sports seeking comment.


McDonald's arrest, first reported by NBC Bay Area, comes just three days after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell implemented a massive overhaul to how the league handles players involved in domestic violence incidents. The first incident will result in a six-game suspension, while a second incident carries an indefinite ban with a minimum of one year.


The changes came after Goodell and the NFL faced fierce criticism after Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice received a two-game suspension after assaulting his now-wife in February.


McDonald has been a full-time starter for the 49ers since 2011, and has been with the team since 2007.
