NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently informed team owners of increased league penalties for domestic violence or sexual assault. Another player has been added to the list of cases that potentially may fall under that disciplinary system.

Wide receiver Quincy Enunwa, a practice squad player with the New York Jets, was arrested Sunday in Florham Park, N.J., on a charge of simple assault following an alleged domestic violence dispute with his girlfriend, according to the Florham Park Police Department.

Enunwa, 22, was arrested at 7:19 p.m. ET while staying at the Wyndham Hamilton Park Hotel, according to a police press release. He was transported to the police headquarters, where he was processed and released on his own recognizance pending further court action.

"This is something we take very seriously, obviously, and we're aware of it. And again, I'm not going to comment further on details or anything else because it is a pending legal matter," Jets Coach Rex Ryan said Thursday at his post-practice press conference.

San Francisco 49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh said this week that he would not have a player who had been convicted of domestic violence on his team. Ryan was asked if he felt the same.

"There's different things, but obviously there's a big difference from being charged, allegedly charged, whatever and convicted. So again, I'm not going to get into what ifs or anything like that," said Ryan.

Ryan said he was uncertain whether the Jets learned of the arrest before Enunwa was signed to the practice squad Tuesday. He said he has been focused on the opener against the Oakland Raiders.

"I don't want to get specifics. ... I don't want to give you false information," he said.

Also Sunday, defensive tackle Ray McDonald of the San Francisco 49ers was arrested on domestic violence charges following an alleged incident at his 30th birthday party.

Last week Goodell sent team owners a letter saying that under the NFL's personal conduct policy violations involving domestic violence or sexual assault would merit a six-game suspension for a first offense and an indefinite suspension of at least one year for a second offense.

"These steps are based on a clear, simple principle: domestic violence and sexual assault are wrong. They are illegal," Goodell wrote. "They have no place in the NFL and are unacceptable in any way, under any circumstances. That has been and remains our policy.''

Running back Ray Rice has begun a two-game suspension imposed by the NFL in a case involving domestic violence. That disciplinary action was handed down before the league announced increased penalties.

And from the "Who In The What, Now?" file...

Former NFL wide receiver Donte Stallworth, who played for the Ravens in 2010 and spent the summer as a coaching intern with the team, joined the Huffington Post last night as a politics fellow covering national security, the site announced.

Another jewel in the Huffpost's crown.

Bengals are shitty.

Goddamn, season is finally here. Tommy and I were outside throwing the football for about an hour before gametime. He can finally reliably throw and catch

And I'm not responding to Ed's troll.

[Ed Anger]

Not trolling. Setting expectations.

Seattle seems faster than last year.  Green Bay is playing their 5th preseason game.

This game had beat down written all over it and even so this is pretty impressive.  Seattle is a monster.

It's a good thing that the Seattle defense took a series off at the end of the 1st to let GB score a TD because there would be outrage this morning if not.

They're a monster at home.  Away they're not as dominant.
