SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Coach Kyle Shanahan said Charles Omenihu remains a candidate to play in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game, despite the 49ers defensive lineman’s arrest Monday on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence.
Shanahan, speaking before Wednesday’s practice, said: “We’re letting the legal process take care of itself, so if he’s healthy, he’ll play this week.
“We’ve looked into it the last 48 hours, not only himself but other people,” Shanahan added. “We don’t feel we should kick him off our team at this time.”
