Ray McDonald may not be completely out of the woods but one of the newest Chicago Bears got over a big hurdle when he was cleared of violating the league’s personal conduct policy related to a domestic violence charge against him.
‘‘We have completed that [domestic-violence] investigation,’’ NFL general counsel Jeff Pash said during the Associated Press Sports Editors meetings. ‘‘[Special counsel for investigations] Lisa [Friel] and her team completed that investigation [and] did not establish a violation of the personal-conduct policy. We informed the player and the [NFL] Players Association.’’
McDonald was arrested last August on a domestic violence charge, but no charges were filed due to a lack of evidence.
