EAST RUTHERFORD, N.
Sheldon Rankins Jersey .J. -- New York Giants free safety Stevie Brown will miss the regular
season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee that he
hurt in Saturdays preseason overtime loss to the Jets.
The 27-year-old Brown, who led the Giants with eight interceptions last
season, was placed on injured reserve on Sunday.
"I feel badly for him," coach Tom Coughlin said in a conference call.
"He played well for us last year and prepared himself well for this
season. Were definitely going to miss him. Well continue, because thats
what we do."
For now, it leaves the Giants without the starting safeties from a year
ago, with strong safety Antrel Rolle still out with a sprained ankle.
"But we expect Antrel to practice this week and get him back on the
field," Coughlin said.
Browns injury, which came on a non-contact play soon after he
intercepted Geno Smiths pass and returned it 22 yards, will move
fifth-year veteran Ryan Mundy into a starting role.
Mundy signed with the Giants in the off-season after spending his entire
career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He started only five games in four
years, with one interception.
"He has played well," Coughlin said of Mundy. "He can play both safety
positions. Hes proven to be physical. Well see about that."
Tyler Sash, a third-year veteran, has a chance to move up the depth
chart with Brown out for the season.
"Hes certainly going to get a lot of playing time," Coughlin said of
Sash. "Its up to his production, but the opportunity is going to be
there. He knows whats in front of him and has the opportunity."
Another safety who might have been in the mix to start is second-year
pro Will Hill, who made the team as a free agent out of training camp
last year.
However, Hill was suspended once last year for four games for violating
the leagues drug policy.
If he makes the Giants roster next week, he will miss the first four
games of the 2013 season for another drug offence.
"Hes been playing and playing well," Coughlin said of Hill. "Hes
outstanding in the special teams. But were not going to have him for
four games. We acknowledge what he can brings to the table, but we cant
be lured into thinking were OK because hes not going to be here. Thats a
shame."
Former standout cornerback Terrell Thomas, who is making a comeback
after two ACL surgeries, is probably not a candidate for playing time at
safety.
"He played real well last night and I feel real good about him,"
Coughlin said. "He had a couple of serious injuries. We want him to get
close to 100 per cent physically as possible.
"We know hes a player. Hes certainly a talented guy, an outstanding
player. Were trying to get him on the field where his confidence is up.
We havent thought about another spot. We just want to get him confident
and playing."
Cornerback Corey Webster should also return to practice this week before
the Giants close out the preseason Thursday night against the Patriots
in Foxborough.
Jayron Hosley, who suffered an apparent sprained ankle during the loss
to the Jets, is also expected to return to practice this week.
Coughlin said that the secondary "was not any more of a concern than any
other areas."
"We just have to get the guys back on the field and see where we are,"
Coughlin said. "We have to get the people out there and get the right
combination."
NOTES: The Giants got their roster down to 75 by placing Brown on IR and
cutting 14 players, the most notable being LB Aaron Curry, the former
first-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks. Curry was beaten out of
playing time recently by Kyle Bosworth. ... Others released included FB
Ben Guidugli; wide receivers Brandon Collins and Terrence Sinkfield;
tight ends Jamie Childers and Chase Clement; offensive linemen
Michael Jasper and Austin Holtz; linebackers Jake Muasau and Etienne
Sabino; defensive tackle Frank Okam; and defensive backs Laron Scott,
Junior Mertile and Alonzo Tweedy.
