It's been well over 600 days since Pro Bowl wide receiver Victor Cruz last played a regular-season NFL game. That time away, combined with the fact the New York Giants star is approaching 30, has had some wondering whether Cruz will ever recapture the salsa-level magic he possessed between 2011 and 2013.
That's fair because Cruz suffered a horrible knee injury in 2014 before missing the entire 2015 season through a calf injury that he said came about as a result of overcompensation, per Jordan Raanan of NJ.com. Essentially, the belief is one major injury led to another major injury, limiting Cruz to just six starts in a near-1,000-day period between December 2013 and July 2016.
