EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants kicker Josh Brown says an arrest on a domestic violence charge in May 2015 led to his one-game suspension by the NFL for violating the leagues personal conduct policy.Speaking after practice on Thursday, the 37-year-old Brown said the woman whose wrist he grabbed in Woodinville, Wash. during a disagreement was his wife. He said the couple has since divorced.Brown said the case was dismissed by the King County Prosecutors office five days after his arrest for fourth-degree domestic violence.A spokesman for the prosecutor said in an email to The Associated Press that no charge was filed because of insufficient evidence.Its not something that you want, and like I said, my main concern is my kids, Brown said. Thats the last thing you ever want to be on the internet, that they would read or their friends would read and the way that they would be approached at school and how theyre looked upon. Is it good? No, its not.Brown said he told the Giants immediately after his arrest, and the team informed the league.He was notified of his suspension in June. He appealed because he was not charged, but it was rejected. The league announced the suspension Wednesday.Weve exhausted everything that the NFL allows, said Brown, who didnt know why the league took so long to make its decision. Were not going to do anything else, well take it for what it is, take the one game and move on.Still, Brown didnt agree with either the suspension or the power of Commissioner Roger Goodell.Im uncomfortable with it, but I just want to kick field goals, said the 14-year veteran who scored a career-high 134 points last season. Thats really what it comes down to. Im not the power, Im just here to do this job and help this team in every way that I can and thats what Ive done since Ive been here for four years.Ben McAdoo said he was informed about Browns arrest after being named coach in January. The two have spoken about it.We support the league office in their decision and their stance on personal conduct, McAdoo said. I do support Josh as a man, a father, and a player. We treat these situations on a case by case basis.Brown said the incident with his former wife was a momentary thing.A charge was not filed in the case, Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the Kings County prosecutors office said in an email. There was a thorough investigation and review of the case, but there was insufficient evidence to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.Brown will miss the Giants season opener at Dallas.Im going to spend it with my daughter, he said. Im going to go home and take her to school and be a dad and do the things that I need to do, that I get the opportunity to do because of this. Take that as an opportunity Ive never had as a player, to take my daughter to school on the first day. Im looking forward to that.Free agent kicker Tom Obarski was signed by the Giants in January and has been in training camp. McAdoo said he will get most of the work when the Giants face the Bills in Buffalo on Saturday.He seemed steady, McAdoo said. I like the fact that he is going to have an opportunity, a golden opportunity, to make an impact for himself and this organization.Quarterback Eli Manning hopes the Giants can get along for a week without Brown, who was 32 of 34 on field goals last season.Hopefully we dont have to settle for field goals and we can score touchdowns, he said.Game notes WR Victor Cruz (groin) and G Justin Pugh (shoulder) are making progress, McAdoo said. ...The team will have a 50-minute speed practice on Friday before heading to Buffalo. ...

Athletes with this injury typically undergo surgery.The estimated time frame for a full recovery from this surgery is around eight weeks, according to Adickes.Simmons, a forward from Australia, played one season at LSU. He missed time early during his stay with the Tigers while waiting for an ankle injury to heal, and he left an NBA Summer League contest in July after suffering cramps in both legs.Simmons injury is the latest blow to a franchise that has been beset in recent years by injuries.

Jahlil Okafor had his rookie season in 2015-16 cut short with season-ending surgery on his right knee.

Simmons impressed his teammates with just one week of NBA training camp.I never played with somebody [like him], forward Dario Saric said at training camp. Everybody puts pressure on him, but I think hell handle this.Simmons averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game at LSU, the only SEC player ever to finish in the top five in all three categories. But the Tigers were only 19-14, failing to make the NCAA tournament.Simmons, who grew up in Australia before moving to Florida for three years of high school at Montverde Academy, signed a $20 million sneaker deal with Nike before the draft.He never demonstrated he could make jump shots consistently, rarely shooting from outside and going only 1-of-3 from 3-point range all season. He also exhibited an inclination to pass rather than create his own shot in the late stages of close games.Simmons also had academic issues that made him ineligible for the Wooden Award, which is presented to the nations top college player.On Monday, Simmons spoke with reporters at 76ers media day about his new strength regimen that saw him gain around 33 pounds since leaving LSU.Im a lot stronger [now], said Simmons, who was listed at 240 pounds while at LSU but said Monday that he weighed 217 before the June 23 draft. Im at the point where I want to cut down a little bit and play at a nice weight. Physically just being out there, guys are a lot stronger than in college, but Im also a lot stronger than I was in college, so its just about taking hits and bumps or whatever it is and finishing at the rim.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
