"I can’t say too much right now but the truth will come out," McDonald said. "Everybody knows what kind of person I am. I’m a good-hearted person."
The NFL announced changes to its domestic violence policy last week. A first offense will result in a six-game suspension, "with consideration given to mitigating factors", while a second offense results in an indefinite suspension with the ability to apply for reinstatement after one year.
