When the New York Giants play the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football, wide receiver Victor Cruz will return to the place where his career almost ended. Roughly two years ago, Cruz tore his patellar tendon in Philadelphia.
On Thursday, December 22, Cruz will aim exorcise his demons and put that devastating chapter of his life and career behind him.
Cruz has played well in 2016, recording 29 receptions for 495 yards, one touchdown, and an average of 17.1 yards per reception. The fact he’s played in 13 of 14 games is impressive enough, but the 30-year-old knows the game in Philadelphia will define his season.
