New York Giants Rumors: Victor Cruz to Start Against the Buffalo Bills
New York Giants fans will finally get to see two of their best receivers in this week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Victor Cruz announced via Bleacher Report's video segment, "Uninterrupted" that he is finally returning to the field. Cruz has not played in an NFL game for almost a year since he tore his patellar tendon.
"I'm extremely excited to start my next game, to play my first game in this young 2015 season. I'm excited to team up with Odell [Beckham Jr.], man. It's gonna be fun," Cruz said in the clip. "I just wanted to make sure that I'm 100% before I go back out there. I want to be clicking on all cylinders. I want everything to be full force just to prevent another injury, you know what I mean? So I'm excited, man."
Cruz did not mention whether or not he will be attending the team's practices on Monday. He has not practiced since Aug. 17. He did, however, talk about making the push for the playoffs even though it is still early.
"We're excited to make this push," Cruz said. "We know that it's a long season and we have to stay consistent throughout the season, but I'm excited to come back individually and join my team and join my teammates, and be that explosive player that I can be."
The Giants are currently in a good place to contend for a spot in the playoffs, according to CBSSports.com's Jared Dubin. The Dallas Cowboys recently lost their quarterback Tony Romo and the Philadelphia Eagles have not looked too good even though they have the same record as the Giants right now.
The Giants (1-2) will be making the trip upstate to play the Bills (2-1) on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 1:00 p.m.
