Victor Cruz not expected to play on Saturday

Hopefully he will be able to show some of that ability before the preseason ends, as it will help get his mind ready for the regular season and give the Giants an idea of where is at, and how much they can use him, once the games begin to count.

Last season the team implemented a new system from offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo and Manning really took to it, putting up some of the best numbers of his career.

With that in mind, Foot Locker found a great way to explore the “teammate-rival” dynamic between Cruz and Beckham in this new ad that centers on Cruz’s “thoughts” on Beckham Jr. stealing the spotlight away from Cruz last season. It’s something that I can get over.

It looks as though New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz won’t play in Saturday night’s preseason game against the Jaguars. “Only a small hiccup”, Cruz stated. The move turns what was generally an automatic point into a 33-yard field-goal attempt, which poses more of a challenge, but probably still wouldn’t crack the top 50 most athletically hard skills in any given game.

“They didn’t give me a timetable, but I know how it feels for me right now [compared to] how it did when it first happened”, Cruz said. There’s going to be a lot of plays where I’m open. Lately, though, he’s been working with the starters on offense and making some nice catches in practices. Guard-tackle Geoff Schwartz, who missed the preseason opener with an ankle injury, is back. Victor Cruz (calf) and Rueben Randle (knee) were joined by Julian Talley (toe), who stepped out as Odell Beckham Jr. stepped back in (he missed the workout yesterday after having dental work the previous day).

“Obviously, they were upping my reps this week in practice and seeing that I was feeling good and doing good”, he said. You can play your technique no matter what coverage you’re in, or whatever they put you in on the paper.
