Report: Aldon Smith enters rehab after domestic violence incident

Suspended Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith has checked into a rehabilitation facility following a reported domestic violence incident that required the San Francisco Police Department to search for the pass-rusher, according to TMZ Sports.

Smith wasn't at the scene when police found the victim with no life-threatening injuries, but he was identified as the aggressor.

Smith's fiancee, Shawna McKnight, confirmed to TMZ Sports that she was the victim in the incident and said her parents were the ones who took the linebacker to rehab.

"I can tell you this ... Aldon called my parents and asked them to take him to rehab," the woman said. "He complied. They went and got him. I was not there. My family took him and had him checked in."

"I wish the best for Aldon. And I'm scared for his life with his addiction. I cannot comment on the altercation but I can tell you I love him and so happy he turned to my family who considers him family and hopefully he gets the help he truly needs."

Smith proposed to McKnight in February.
