McDonald will be the first player subject to the NFL's strict new policy for players accused of domestic violence, which commissioner Roger Goodell announced on Thursday.
If he is determined to be a first-time offender, McDonald faces at least a six-game suspension. Second-time offenders of the new policy could be banned from the league for life.
Players whose incidents involve a pregnant woman will face longer suspensions, the league announced Thursday. Other incidents that trigger longer suspensions are those involving weapons, choking or repeated striking.
McDonald, who will turn 30 years old on Tuesday, is the second 49ers defensive start to face discipline from the NFL in the past two days -- Pro Bowl outside linebacker Aldon Smith was suspended for nine games on Friday.
McDonald has been a very important part of the 49ers defense the past few years. He signed a five-year, $20 million contract extension in 2011. He was drafted by the 49ers in the third round of the 2007 draft.
