Giants bring back veteran safety Stevie Brown

Some moves make too much sense to not happen quickly.

The Giants announced they have brought back safety Stevie Brown, after he was released by the Texans.

The team’s Twitter account reports that Brown is healthy and ready to hit the ground running, which makes him different from most of their secondary.

The Giants have been hit by injuries at safety throughout the preseason, so being able to add a safety with experience (with their people if not new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s system).

Brown started 11 games for the Giants in 2012 and eight games last year (missing 2013 with a torn ACL), so he lends some immediate credibility to their secondary.
