Broncos QB accused of trespassin­g

-

Denver Broncos backup quarterbac­k Chad Kelly was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of criminal trespass after a couple reported he came into their suburban house uninvited and sat down on their couch "mumbling incoherent­ly," according to court records.

General manager John Elway said the team was "very, very disappoint­ed in Chad and the situation he put himself into" and suggested the Broncos were pondering Kelly's future with the club.

Kelly attended a Halloween costume party hosted by Von Miller on Monday night that has long been a tradition for Broncos players and their significan­t others.

The Broncos were trying to figure out what happened after Kelly left the party.

Raiders sign new kicker

The Oakland Raiders have signed kicker Daniel Carlson and waived Matt McCrane.

Oakland also promoted former Oklahoma State receiver Marcell Ateman and offensive lineman Denver Kirkland from the practice squad Tuesday to fill open spots on the 53-man roster.

Carlson was a fifth-round pick by Minnesota this season after setting the SEC record for career points in college at Auburn. He was released after two games with the Vikings.

McCrane kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime for Oakland on Sept. 30 against Cleveland, but has missed four kicks in three games and has struggled to generate touchbacks on kickoffs.

Injury woes continue for Falcons

Atlanta Falcons right guard Brandon Fusco will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a broken right ankle in Monday night's win over the New York Giants.

Coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday Fusco suffered the fracture late in the second quarter of the 23-20 win.

The Falcons already have lost a starting guard, Andy Levitre, to a season-ending arm injury.

Three defensive starters — safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen and linebacker Deion Jones — are on injured reserve.

Running back Devonta Freeman also is on IR with a groin injury.
