Victor Cruz confident he'll be ready for Week 1

Victor Cruz said today he doesn’t know when he will return to practice, but is confident he will be ready to play in the Giants’ regular-season opener in Dallas in 19 days.

He did not play in the Giants’ first two preseason games, the first because the team wasn’t ready for him to test his surgically-repaired knee under game conditions. The Giants next play Saturday night, as the home team in the MetLife Bowl against the Jets.
