Niners willing to let legal process play out with Charles Omenihu

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Following his Monday arrest on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence, San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Charles Omenihu will remain with the team and continue preparing for Sunday's NFC Championship Game, coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday.

Shanahan added that the Niners spent the past couple of days looking into what happened with Omenihu and concluded that the best way of handling it is to let the legal process play out before making any further decisions.

"We feel very good letting the legal process take care of itself. And don't feel we should kick him off our team at this time," Shanahan said.
