McNary, who has played in 17 of Indianapolis' 18 games this season including playoffs, was put on the NFL's Exempt/Commissioner Permission List. The Colts play in the AFC championship game on Sunday at the New England Patriots. The Colts asked that the NFL, which strengthened its policy on such matters after a domestic violence incident involving Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice last year, put McNary on the list.
McNary can't practice or attend games while on the list, but he will get his playoff pay.
“This action was taken pursuant to the Personal Conduct Policy with the support of the Colts following the filing of formal chargers against Mr. McNary by the Prosecuting Attorney of Marion County, Indiana,’’ the NFL said in a statement, according to TheIndyChannel.com. “McNary was charged (Wednesday) afternoon with felony counts of rape and criminal confinement, and a misdemeanor count of battery resulting in bodily injury.
“The Colts have expressed the club’s full support for this action.’’
The incident in question happened at McNary's apartment on Dec. 1 last year. According to court documents, via TheIndyChannel.com, the alleged victim met McNary at a bar and went back to his apartment. She said a physical and sexual assault took place at McNary's apartment, according to the report. McNary, through his lawyer, denied all allegations.
