EAST RUTHERFORD, N.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.

Florenzi provided the cross for Mattia Destros opener 10 minutes in at the Stadio Olimpico then took a pass from Gervinho and found the target himself two minutes later with an angled shot. Florenzi celebrated by climbing over a barrier into the stands and running up several rows to embrace his 82-year-old grandmother -- drawing a yellow card from the referee. "Hell pay a fine but hes happy to," Roma coach Rudi Garcia said. "This is the beautiful side of football." Roma and Juventus, which won 1-0 at AC Milan on Saturday, are the only clubs to win their opening three matches. Prior to this season, the last time Roma won its opening three matches without conceding any goal came in 2007-08. "The stats are good. Were top on maximum points and were yet to concede in the league," Garcia said. "It was a good afternoon" Hellas Verona is two points back in third following a 1-0 win at Torino, where Artur Ionita scored in the 66th and goalkeeper Rafael saved a penalty kick from Omar El Kaddouri in the 87th. Milan and Udinese are three points behind the leaders. Udinese edged Napoli 1-0 with a goal from Danilo in the 70th following a poorly defended free kick. It was the second consecutive loss for Napoli, which finished third last season. Also, Inter Milan drew 1-1 at promoted Palermo. A defensive error from Nemanja Vidic gifted Paulo Dybala a goal for Palermo just three minutes in and Mateo Kovacic equalized for Inter in the 42nd from the edge of the area. Its been a nightmare of a start for Vidic in Italy after the former Manchester United standout was shown a red card in his Serie A debut. Fiorentina won 1-0 at Atalanta with a goal in the 58th from substitute Jasmin Kurtic, who scored with a long diagoonal shot that bounced in off the post.dddddddddddd. Parma beat Chievo Verona 3-2 with two goals from former Italy forward Antonio Cassano. Elsewhere, Genoas Mauricio Pinilla scored in the 87th in a 1-0 win over 10-man Lazio, two minutes after Stefan De Vrij picked up his second yellow card. And Sassuolo and Sampdoria drew 0-0. In the capital, Garcia rested Francesco Totti following a 5-1 midweek rout of CSKA Moscow in the Champions League but Florenzi, Destro and Gervinho made up for the captains absence. It was the first goal this season for the 23-year-old Florenzi, and also the first time his grandmother Aurora came to the Olimpico to watch him. "I had never done that, not even when I was a kid and could have much more easily," Florenzi told Sky TV at halftime. "This goal is for her. She had told me, Ill come to see you only if you come to greet me. ... It was worth the yellow." Cagliari, coached by former Roma manager Zdenek Zeman, rarely threatened. Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi exited late in the second half with an apparent lower left leg problem. In Verona, Cassano dedicated his performance to teammate Jonathan Biabiany, who is out indefinitely after doctors discovered a heart problem. Cassano had a heart problem himself during the 2011-12 season, when he fell ill with stroke-like symptoms on the team plane while with Milan and then had surgery to repair a small cardiac malformation. "I understand what hes going through right now," Cassano said. "We miss him as a player but above all as a teammate." Cassano was on Italys World Cup squad but has not been called up by new Azzurri coach Antonio Conte. "I think the national team chapter is over for me," Cassano said. "Its only fair that other players get a chance. Conte is very good but you run a lot with him -- a lot -- and Im not sure that suits me." ' ' '
