INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Colts put backup linebacker Josh McNary on the commissioners exempt list Thursday, less than 24 hours after prosecutors filed criminal charges against the 26-year-old. Leonard Floyd Jersey .McNary faces charges of rape, criminal confinement with bodily injury and battery resulting in bodily injury — another off-the-field problem for a league that has been plagued by them this season.McNary will not be permitted to practice with the team or attend games, including Sundays AFC championship game at New England. He will, however, continue to be paid.Punter Pat McAfee said players were blind-sided by the serious allegations that were released publicly Wednesday.I feel sorry for all of the parties involved, but I do believe that in this country that you are innocent until proven guilty, McAfee said. If he is guilty of something, then I hope justice will be served.While coach Chuck Pagano kept his team focused on this weeks challenge — the AFC title game — team officials issued a statement just before the start of practice to explain the roster move.That designation will permit the investigation provided by the leagues personal conduct policy to run its course and will afford Josh the opportunity to focus on his defence against the charges, the statement read in part.The Colts sincerely hope this extraordinarily serious matter will be resolved expeditiously and that justice will prevail.Pagano declined to say what he told his team.For the league, its yet another off-field issue.Carolina defensive lineman Greg Hardy and Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson both wound up on the commissioners exempt list this season after criminal charges were filed against them.League officials also continue to deal with the ramifications from a video that showed former Ravens running back Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancee in an elevator.The public release of the video created an outcry, and Commissioner Roger Goodell changed his two-game suspension of Rice to an indefinite suspension. The NFL developed a new personal conduct policy that owners approved in December.A neutral arbitrator also reduced Rices ban, making him eligible to play, though no team signed him.The accusations against McNary are troubling, too.According to the probable cause affidavit, which was released publicly Wednesday afternoon by the Marion County prosecutors office, a 29-year-old woman accused an unknown man of attacking her in the early morning hours of Dec. 1. The document said police tracked information from a cellphone the woman allegedly took from the mans apartment and later determined the man was McNary, a West Point graduate who has spent the past two seasons with the Colts.The womans name was redacted from the report.Early Thursday morning Ed Schrager, McNarys lawyer, issued a statement on behalf of his client denying the allegations. Schrager wrote that McNary had immediately reported to law enforcement officials in a respectful and peaceful manner.The report details claims that McNary and the woman engaged in a physical fight in the mans apartment, and that she had scratched his neck, face, back and shoulder. Police reported that a nurse found dried blood behind the womans ear and other injuries following a sexual assault examination.According to the report, the woman said she also believed the man slapped her on the left side of her face with his hands before the attack. And, the report said, the woman repeatedly told the man no and stop. The document said police also listened to a 2-minute voicemail from the accuser to one of her friends.At one point, the female can be heard crying and becoming emotionally distraught, the report said.Police reported that when they later showed the woman a photo lineup to identify who she left a bar with that night, the woman pointed to McNarys photo and said he looked familiar. But she could not positively identify anyone from the photos.The police wrote when they arrived at McNarys apartment to investigate, the player said: I know why youre here. The report said McNary claimed to have preserved evidence because he expected to see the police.McNarys attorney cautioned there is another side to the story.The charges and affidavit publicly disseminated on Wednesday afternoon are not evidence of wrong doing but simply one sides story, Schrager said in the statement.Joshua has full faith and confidence in the American way, including its justice system, which he pledged to protect and defend as a West Point graduate and lieutenant in the United States Army.Schrager said no other statements would be made on behalf of or by McNary.The 6-foot, 251-pound linebacker finished his career as Armys all-time leader in sacks and tackles for loss, then spent two years on active military duty before seeking an early release so he could play in the NFL.McNary signed with the Colts in April 2013 and has continued to fulfil his military obligation in the National Guard. He had 20 tackles during the regular season, but has none in the Colts two playoff wins.Indianapolis (13-5) filled McNarys spot by promoting receiver Griff Whalen from the practice squad. The Colts also signed defensive end Gannon Conway to take Whalens spot on the practice squad.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Prince Amukamara Jersey .Impact president Joey Saputo confirmed Thursday that he is part of a group of investors whose offer to buy the 105-year-old Italian club was accepted by the teams board of directors.

Jean (25-0), of Montreal, is to face International Boxing Federation champion Lamont Peterson (31-2-1), whose promoter Golden Boy won a purse bid to stage the bout. Estaphan said Golden Boy, which still has seven days to set a date, is looking at having the fight at the Barclays Center in New York, although Las Vegas remains an option. "New York would be better because more of my fans can come," said Jean. "I see Peterson as a beatable opponent. "Hes a good boxer, but I wouldnt call him a complete athlete. He has shown some weaknesses in his career." Estaphan, head of Eye of the Tiger Management, said Montreal heavyweight Bermane Stiverne may also get a title shot in 2014. He said he was assured by handlers of WBC champion Vitali Klitschko that the Ukrainians next bout will be a mandatory title defence against Stiverne, poossibly in April. Mitchell Trubisky Jersey. . If so, it could be a busy time for the 42-year-old Klitschko, who is a member of parliament in Ukraine and recently announced he will run for president. "When a representative of Klitschkos company approaches you with a proposition, its a sign that things are moving forward," said Estaphan, who returned this week from a WBC congress in Bangkok. He also said that Montreal light welterweight Ghislain Maduma, currently ranked fourth, will have an elimination bout to try to become mandatory challenger for the WBC belt. "Not only could we have three world title fights in 2014, but we could have three world champions from Quebec," Estaphan said. The only Canadian currently holding a world title is Adonis Stevenson of Montreal, who will defend his WBC light heavywight belt Nov. 30 in Quebec City. Eye of the Tiger also announced it has added welterweight contender Antonin Decarie to its stable. Decarie was previously with Stevensons promoter Yvon Michel.
