As the assembled media was heading into the Giants’ locker room late Sunday afternoon, injured wideout Victor Cruz was headed out, clad in street clothes. The Giants can’t get him in uniform fast enough, because the rest of the receiving corps — aside from Odell Beckham Jr. — dropped the ball in Sunday’s home opener, literally and figuratively.
Wide receiver Preston Parker let Eli Manning’s final pass of the afternoon fall through his fingertips, the same way the Giants let Sunday’s 24-20 loss to Atlanta slip through theirs. They squandered a great game by Beckham because no other wideout contributed.
