Wide receiver Victor Cruz, who has not played for the Giants in 13 months, announced Monday that he would soon be undergoing season-ending surgery on his left calf muscle. In October 2014, Cruz had surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon in his right knee.
A second lengthy rehabilitation of a serious leg injury could mean the end of Cruz’s career with the Giants since he has three years and about $24 million left on a contract he signed in 2013. At the very least, Cruz is likely to have to restructure his contract significantly to remain with the team.
