McDonald, who faces separate sexual assault accusations, was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence last August, after a fight with his then-pregnant financée during a birthday celebration. Although the case was thrown out, he was subsequently dropped from the San Francisco 49ers, and later picked up by the Bears. 

The Bears have not yet commented McDonald’s arrest.
