Giants trade DT Harrison to Lions

-

The New York Giants have traded star defensive tackle Damon "Snacks" Harrison

to the Detroit Lions for a draft pick.

Giants coach Pat Shurmur

confirmed the deal Wednesday after practice without revealing details. The teams are expected to confirm it Thursday after Harrison passes a physical.

A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that Giants will receive a fifth-round draft pick for the soon-to-be 30-year-old Harrison, who was a 2016 All-Pro selection.

The trade is the second for the Giants (1-6) in less than 24 hours and indicates the organizati­on is cleaning house after four wins in the past 23 regular-season games. New York sent cornerback Eli Apple,

a 2016 first-round selection, to New Orleans for two picks on Tuesday.

It also waived tackle Ereck Flowers, the 2015 first-round pick, on Oct. 9.

Broncos cut Kelly after trespassin­g arrest

The Denver Broncos have waived backup quarterbac­k Chad Kelly a day after he was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass after a couple reported he came into their suburban home uninvited and sat down on their couch "mumbling incoherent­ly."

About half an hour before the Broncos released him, Kelly appeared in Arapahoe County Court, where a court date of Nov. 8 was set for filing charges.

The Broncos' move leaves third-year pro Kevin Hogan as Case Keenum's backup.

CB Peterson vows to stay with Cardinals

Three-time All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson backed off his request to be traded from the Arizona Cardinals, saying "it came at a bad time and I was just frustrated" about how badly the season has gone when he made it.

"Honestly I don't really want to dwell on the situation on what happened. I said what I said," Peterson said after practice Wednesday.

Asked why he'd sought a trade, Peterson, a Pro Bowl selection in each of his seven seasons with Arizona, said simply, "You see the record."

The Cardinals are 1-6 heading into Sunday's home game against the San Francisco 49ers.
