jacksbeatWestwood66-0 in their opener, and Butte Valley is now fourth with 24 points after a 33-14 vic- tory over Greenville. Dun- smuir, which had received four first-place votes in the preseason poll that went to Redding Chris- tian this week, dropped to fifth with five points, barely ahead of Big Val- ley (4) and Herlong (4). Redding Christian hosts Princeton this week, an- other game that could shake up the rankings and the second of four straight road games to start the season for the Eagles. ConnectwithSports Writer Joseph Shufel- berger at 896-7774. Prep FROMPAGE1 David Carr had a rough going in the NFL as he was hampered by an expansion team that struggled to pro- tect him. Carr was sacked 249 times in five seasons, including an NFL-record 76 as a rookie in 2002. David Carr has been a mentor for his younger brother throughout his ca- reer, teaching him how to be an NFL quarterback both on and off the field. David also could give some advice for how to deal with Rex Ryan's defense, hav- ing played against Ryan's teams several times as a pro. "He's got a great blitz package," Derek Carr said. "He has obviously a lot of different looks that he'll show. Me being a rookie he'll probably want to show them all." Carr also credits Schaub for helping his develop- ment the past few months. He said Schaub congratu- lated him after hearing the news and has been a help- ful sounding board during preparation for the opener. But this wasn't how Schaub envisioned his ca- reer in Oakland starting. He had been immediately anointed the starter after arriving in March and still had that role just a week ago. But Carr eventually forced the hands of the coaching staff to make the change. Schaub said he was surprised by the move but would do his best to be a good teammate. "I'm definitely disap- pointed but it wouldn't do me or the team any good if I just stood here and felt sorry for myself," he said. "I only know how to han- dle things one way. That's to move forward and stay productive and get myself ready each day so I'm pre- pared if called upon." Notes: • Khalif Barnes will start ahead of Menelik Watson at RT with rookie Gabe Jackson taking Barnes' spot at LG. • CB Taiwan Jones (knee) was back at prac- tice and should be ready to play Sunday. • MLB Nick Roach (con- cussion) and CB Chimdi Chekwa (knee) remain sidelined. Raiders FROM PAGE 1 grilled chicken like a Ne- anderthal." Boone had kept in shape by working in Arizona with former NFL offensive line- man LeCharles Bentley, and some of those workouts came during the 49ers' ex- hibitions that Boone called "weird to watch." Coach Jim Harbaugh, speaking on his KNBR 680-AM segment, said of his reunion with Boone: "After the awkwardness, we very quickly moved into, 'Hey, give me a hug. Welcome back and let's start playing football.' " Notes • Special-teams ace Kas- sim Osgood re-signed af- ter being among Satur- day's cuts. In a corre- sponding roster move, the 49ers used their only injured reserve/desig- nated-for-return tag on nose tackle Glenn Dorsey, who's recovering from bi- ceps surgery. • Rookie Bruce Elling- ton is listed ahead of LaMi- chael James as the punt and kickoff returner on Sunday's depth chart. • Michael Wilhoite is the first-string inside line- backer next to Patrick Wil- lis and in place of an in- jured NaVorro Bowman, according to the depth chart. Dan Skuta re- places the suspended Al- don Smith at first-string outside linebacker on the depth chart, though he'll likely platoon with Corey Lemonier. • The 49ers worked out former Cowboys fullback J.C. Copeland, along with defensive backs Rod Sweet- ing and Chibuikem Okoro. Sweeting most recently was with the Saints. Okoro got released by the Char- gers in 2013. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 San Jose police released few details Tuesday sur- rounding McDonald's ar- rest, only saying that offi- cers at the scene saw the alleged victim with "visible injuries." McDonald's ar- rest came after NFL Com- missioner Roger Goodell announced tougher pen- alties for players accused of domestic violence, in- cluding a six-week suspen- sion for a first offense and at least a year for a second. The move followed scru- tiny over Baltimore Ra- vens running back Ray Rice's two-game penalty stemming from his arrest on an assault charge in February. Harbaugh said he didn't know all of the details re- garding McDonald and cautioned against any rush to judgment. The coach also said Tuesday that he would not allow any player who was found guilty of domestic violence on his team. "Yes, we would not. We can be very clear (on that)," Harbaugh said. "This is a legal matter. I think we all owe, to everyone involved, the ability for due process to take place." An eight-year veteran, McDonald practiced Tues- day. If he's held out, de- fensive lineman Tony Je- rod-Eddie would likely fill his spot. However, the team was left answering far more questions about their off-field issues than the season opener Sunday at Dallas. Harbaugh met with the team Tuesday to reiterate his zero tolerance policy on domestic violence. General manager Trent Baalke said he's had lengthy conversa- tions with McDonald since Sunday as the organization continues gathering infor- mation. "This matter is being treated seriously by this organization," Baalke said. "This is certainly some- thing that hits home for me. I've got two daughters myself. Domestic violence is unacceptable, and it cer- tainly won't be tolerated." Baalke said he hasn't spoken to other players who attended McDonald's birthday party. Tight end Vernon Da- vis said he was there along with about half of his team- mates. Davis said he left when the police arrived. "I didn't see them arrest him. I tried to stay out of it. I'll talk to Ray later. I didn't see anything. I didn't hear anything. So I don't know what went on over there," Davis said. "All I do know is Ray is a great guy, he's awesome." McDonald's arrest came two days after linebacker Aldon Smith received a nine-game suspension for violations of the NFL sub- stance-abuse and personal- conduct policies. Asked about the 49ers having players arrested an NFL-high 10 times since 2012, Harbaugh said Tues- day that the team is doing "everything in our power to make sure there isn't a pattern forming." "I as a coach, the organi- zation, the other coaches, have made it a point and we'll continue to make it a point of emphasis of good conduct, 100 percent of the time," Harbaugh said. "We believe it's personal. We be- lieve it's part of our respon- sibility." McDonald FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, COLO. Wes Welker is facing a four- game suspension for vi- olating the NFL's perfor- mance-enhancing drug policy, according to pub- lished reports. ESPN reported the vio- lation had to do with am- phetamines. The Broncos didn't im- mediately return a mes- sage from The Associated Press requesting comment Tuesday. NFL Media reported Welker was notified Tues- day he had lost his ap- peal, which was heard two weeks ago. Welker returned to prac- tice Monday for the first time since suffering a con- cussion Aug. 23. It was his third concussion in 10 months. NFLSUSPENDS,FINESCOLTS OWNER The NFL sus- pended Jim Irsay for the first six games of the season and fined him $500,000 for violating its personal con- duct policy, coming down hard on the Indianapo- lis Colts owner Tuesday just hours after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor stemming from an embar- rassing March traffic stop. Commissioner Roger Goodell said Irsay is barred from team facilities, prac- tices and games and can- not represent the Colts at NFL meetings or events. The fine is the maximum allowed under league rules. Police said an offi- cer spotted Irsay driv- ing slowly, stopping in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal. Officers said he had trouble reciting the alphabet and failed field so- briety tests. Various pre- scription drugs were found in his vehicle, along with more than $29,000 in cash. WATTSIGNS$100MILLIONEX- TENSION Stardefensiveend J.J.Watthasagreedtoterms on a contract extension with the Houston Texans. Multiple media reports said the agreement was for six years and $100 million, with $51.8 million guar- anteed and a $10 million signing bonus. The 25-year-old Watt has emerged as one of the league's most dominant players, with 74 tackles for loss, 36½ sacks and 27 pass breakups since he joined the league as the 11th over- all pick in 2011. JETS' SAFETY TO START AT CORNERBACK New York Jets safety Antonio Allen has been medically cleared after suffering a concus- sion on Aug. 22 and says he has been told he will start at cornerback in the regu- lar-season opener against the Oakland Raiders. Allen played linebacker andsafetyincollegeatSouth Carolina,buthasbeenwork- ing at cornerback this sum- mer with the Jets because of injuries and instability at the position. Allen, in his third season, would be mak- ing his first NFL start at cor- nerback Sunday. It was still unclear whether second-year cor- nerback Dee Milliner's high ankle sprain would be healed in time for him to play. If he can't go, ca- reer backup Darrin Walls could end up starting op- posite Allen.
