Victor Cruz not cleared for Giants’ practice this week

Victor Cruz's comeback from his serious knee injury has hit an unexpected roadblock with what was thought to only be a minor injury to his calf. But now that minor injury is becoming a major issue, with Cruz on track to miss yet another practice week.

Tom Coughlin said the 28-year-old receiver has not yet been cleared to practice this week. "Not as far as I know," Coughlin said on a conference call with reporters. "I have not been told that. Progress, yes. But he's not definitely given the green light."

Cruz, who was seemingly making a remarkable recovery from the major knee surgery he underwent last fall, has been out since Aug.
