Giants kicker on leave for abuse probe

A King County Superior Court commissioner issued the temporary restraining order on May 27, 2015. The order was reissued several times until July 24, 2015, when the order was terminated by the court at Molly Brown’s request.

At the Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Brown’s wife said she called NFL security to move her and her three children to another hotel to avoid harassment from her estranged husband. She said he had pounded on their hotel door seeking to get in. The allegation is included in the final report filed last month by the local investigating detective, Robin Ostrum.

The Giants in April re-signed Brown to a two-year contract valued at $4 million. When facing his onegame suspension, Brown in August said he was divorced from his wife, although police documents released Wednesday suggested that civil proceedings remain incomplete.

The Giants have signed kicker Robbie Gould, an 11-year veteran of the Chicago Bears who was cut in September for salary cap reasons. The 34-year-old is expected to practice with the team Saturday.

“I’ve seen him (Gould) make a lot of kicks against me in the past. He’s been successful, and we’re hoping that continues,” McAdoo said.
