Lions cut DT 'Snacks' Harrison after 1-year, $11M extension
6h ago The Canadian Press Damon Harrison , Icon Sportswire/Getty ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions have released defensive tackle Damon “Snacks” Harrison. The Lions announced the move Tuesday, less than a year after signing him to an $11 million, one-year contract extension. He went into the 2019 season with two years left on the $46 million contract he signed with the New York Giants.
Giants linemen excited about switch to 3-4 defense
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Damon Harrison isn't a big fan of change, so it might be a little surprising the massive defensive tackle is enjoying playing in the New York Giants' new 3-4 scheme. Harrison is having fun playing in the middle of the line flanked by second-year pro Dalvin Tomlinson and third-round draft pick B.J. Hill. While there are fewer linemen in the formation, players say the defence is much more aggressive than the old 4-3 scheme.
Reese: 'I'm the reason we're 1-6'
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Jerry Reese made it clear that the team he assembled for the Giants is far too talented to be 1-6. He believes the pieces are in place for success all over his roster, including along the much-maligned offensive line. But as his boss said two years ago, there's no way the Giants GM can hide from his record. So he took the hit on Tuesday for this disappointing season that will almost certainly result in the Giants missing the playoffs for the fourth time in five years.
Jerry Reese can't hide from job security questions with 1-6 Giants
It took 15 years of lousy football to convince the Giants to undergo their last massive organizational shakeup. And even then it took some extraordinary circumstances - an ownership family feud, the Miracle at the Meadowlands, a nudge from the NFL commissioner.
McAdoo won't look at Davis Webb under center despite lost season
There are nine games left in a Giants season that is already lost, and they have a player who might be their next franchise quarterback gathering dust on their sidelines. It seems like the perfect time to take a look at Davis Webb and get him a little game experience. But according to Ben McAdoo, the future - at least at quarterback - will have to wait.
Decimated roster leaves Manning, Giants helpless to move the ball
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It is already another lost season late in his career, undone by a startling lack of talent around him, and no one would blame Eli Manning if he finally let his frustrations boil over. Yes, he could play better, but it still might not matter when so much around him is going so unbelievably wrong. It has to be agonizing, frustrating, infuriating.
Giants add RG D.J. Fluker to injury report for Sunday's game
The Giants have made a late addition to their practice report, as right guard D.J. Fluker is now considered questionable for Sunday's game with a knee injury. He had been expected to start on the offensive line against the Seahawks, but the team put him on the injury report after the conclusion of Saturday's practice. Fluker has played in five of six games this year (starting in two) and helped the Giants run for 148 yards last week against the Broncos.

Weather the Storm | By Damon Harrison
As I looked over the edge of the Sarto Old Iron Bridge into the Bayou des Glaises, I was scared as hell. I was just 15. It was a drop of more than 30 feet to the water below. My palms were sweaty and my legs were trembling. The more I stared into the water trying to gauge how deep it was, the more I kept thinking about killing myself.Just jump off the bridge, Damon. Â I don’t know how to swim, but that was the least of my worries.
