Victor Cruz’s hold-up starting to be not just a minor thing

Victor Cruz’s surgically repaired knee appears to be OK. But his calf strain is becoming worrisome.

The Giants wide receiver won’t practice Tuesday, and Giants coach Tom Coughlin said he isn’t sure when Cruz will return.

“I don’t know when to say Victor will be ready to [practice],” the coach said. “I’m concerned. Obviously there were a few slotted spots there that didn’t take place. I would like to see him get out there and be able to stay out there. That’s what our real intent is.”

Cruz described the injury as minor last week — he suffered it eight days ago — and had predicted he would practice Tuesday.
