Even though Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz is making progress in his recovery from last year’s torn patellar tendon, his timeline for a return is uncertain.
Via Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post, Giants coach Tom Coughlin expressed some cautious optimism about Cruz, saying he started running at the team facility last week.
“I think he’ll be the player that he was, and hopefully better,” Coughlin said. “But as far as when, I would be careful. Hopefully, it’s the first [regular-season] game. But if it isn’t, we’ve done that before. We just went through it.”
While Odell Beckham’s persistent hamstring problems last year caused him to miss the first four games, this is a different rehab.
So even though Coughlin said Cruz might work from the start of training camp, they’re clearly going to play it cautious with his schedule.
