(Reuters) - New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will have season-ending surgery on his left calf to resolve an injury he suffered during training camp, the National Football League team said on Monday.

Cruz, 29, tore the patellar tendon in his right knee in October last year and has not played for the Giants this season due to his calf injury.

"It's very disappointing and I feel very badly for Victor." Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said during a news conference.
