Off-field trouble hits 49ers again

-

San Francisco 49ers starting cornerback Tramaine Brock was arrested after being accused of hitting a woman he was dating.

Police reported Friday that officers responding to a domestic violence call said they talked to a woman with visible injuries and arrested Brock Thursday night at his Santa Clara, Calif., home. Jail records show he was released Friday. It’s unclear if he has retained a criminal defense lawyer.

The 49ers originally signed the 28-year-old as an undrafted free agent in 2010 out of tiny Belhaven University, an NAIA school. He cracked the starting lineup in 2013 and is in the final year of a four-year, $14 million contract.

He started all 16 games in 2016, finishing with 49 tackles, an intercepti­on and forced fumble.

When the 49ers released linebacker Aldon Smith Aug. 7, 2015, San Francisco had 12 arrests or charges filed involving seven players since January 2012. That bad streak prompted owner Jed York to promise the team would “win with class.” Defensive tackle Ray McDonald was released late in the 2014 season for his off-field problems.

Patriots

One of Tom Brady’s two Super Bowl jerseys recovered by Mexican authoritie­s and recently retrieved by the FBI is going on display at New England’s Hall of Fame. The grass-stained jersey Brady wore in the 2015 Super Bowl victory against Seattle Seahawks will be available for viewing at The Hall at Patriot Place beginning Saturday at Gillette Stadium. That jersey, along with the one Brady was wearing in February’s comeback Super Bowl win against the Atlanta Falcons, were found after authoritie­s obtained a warrant to search property of Martin Mauricio Ortega, a tabloid journalist who colleagues say went to the game with a media credential, but bragged he was there as a fan.
