Lions extend DT Harrison

LB Worrilow retires

DETROIT, Aug 24, (RTRS): The Detroit Lions signed nose tackle Damon “Snacks” Harrison to a one-year extension worth $11 million, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.

Harrison, who skipped offseason workouts but reported to training camp without a new deal, had two years remaining on his contract, worth $7 million in 2019 and $9.25 million in 2020. He is now under contract through 2021.

The 30-year-old was acquired by Detroit from the New York Giants before the trade deadline in October, in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

He racked up 50 tackles, 3.5 sacks and seven quarterback hits in 10 games with Detroit after totaling 31 tackles, no sacks and one QB hit in seven games with New York.

New York Jets linebacker Brandon Copeland received a four-game suspension on Wednesday for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

Copeland will miss the first four games of the 2019 regular season without pay, although he is eligible to participate in the team’s two remaining preseason contests. Copeland is eligible to return to New York’s active roster on Oct 7, following the team’s Week 5 game against the

Philadelphia Eagles.

Linebacker Paul Worrilow, signed by the Baltimore Ravens on Friday, told coach John Harbaugh on Saturday that he is retiring.

Worrilow, 29, missed last season with the Philadelphia Eagles because of a torn ACL. The Eagles released him earlier this month, and the Ravens picked him up to provide depth at the position.

“I spoke to him last night, and he was great – all ready, excited to go, so I was surprised, you know,” Harbaugh told reporters on Saturday. “I assume he’s trying to figure things out, work things out, what he wants to do, he and his family. Every person has a right to do that.” Worrilow was an All-American at Delaware and signed in 2013 as an undrafted free agent with the

where he spent four

Atlanta Lions Falcons, Detroit seasons. He moved on to the

in 2017.
