Victor Cruz Injury: Updates on Giants Star’s Calf and Return

It won’t be this week.

“It’s not related to the knee at all”. Everything will be fine. Cruz said he is “100 percent” and ready to play this season. It’s just a matter of me getting back. “Then I feel like the game stuff will come”. “We’ll see how it goes”. He only played in six games and racked up 337 receiving yards and one touchdown. It was good news for the Madden cover-boy as Coughlin announced that Beckham would be back at practice Thursday.

While he has avoided a setback on his surgically repaired knee, it is still discouraging that he will be off the field for at least another week. Cruz missed Wednesday’s practice with a minor calf injury in his left leg. Coming off a devastating (right) knee injury, there is no reason to risk him in a preseason game. 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. The ad highlights the brand’s back-to-school campaign, and pokes fun at the fact that as a rookie, Beckham stepped into a leading receiver role with Cruz sidelined last season. It wasn’t going to be easy the rest of the way.

Despite losing their first preseason game, the New York Giants say they’re confident they’ll get better as a unit. “It’s good for me, it’s good for my preparation, and it’s good for Eli getting a feel for me”. “So I’m trying to make sure I do that good of a job, that you can’t even tell the difference”.

“He came out early on and didn’t seem tentative at all about sticking his foot in the ground”, McAdoo said. I got a lot of reps today on scout, and on (special) teams.

If there is a concern for the offense, it’s getting everyone healthy and practicing. That half of the team was underwhelming in last week’s preseason opener against the Bengals, so what are Coughlin’s thoughts about facing the Jaguars?
