Giants’ Cruz Forced Out Of Practice After Nagging Calf Injury Flares Up

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Two days after saying he expected to play this weekend, the return of New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz seemingly is on hold.

Coach Tom Coughlin said that Cruz was unable to practice Wednesday after feeling some discomfort in his calf.

Cruz participated in some individual drills, but he had to shut it down before the team phase of practice.

TC on Cruz: "Victor came out and tried to do individuals. He felt the calf again and that's all he did."

The 28-year-old Cruz has not played in a game since sustaining a season-ending knee injury on Oct.
