Long before kickoff of Thursday night’s Giants-Eagles game, Victor Cruz will walk by himself to the spot that changed his life the night of Oct. 12, 2014 at Lincoln Financial Field.

“That right corner of the end zone was a place where it kind of all re-started for me,” Cruz said Tuesday. “Obviously, it will bring back some emotion and some memories, both good and bad.”

Cruz went up for what would have been a touchdown catch in a Sunday night game against the Eagles, but landed awkwardly on his right leg and suffered what had been feared to be a career-ending knee injury.
