Giants WR Victor Cruz pulled from practice due to setback with calf
Tuesday was supposed to be a big day for New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz. After declaring himself fully healthy from his calf injury, and probable to make his regular season debut in Week 4, Cruz suffered a setback during individual drills at Tuesday's practice, according to Tom Coughlin.
The extent of Cruz's setback is unknown, but the fact that Cruz felt the calf right away and couldn't even make it to 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 team drills is a bad sign. His Week 4 status is now in doubt.
The Giants will likely use the same top three wide receivers we saw in Week 3 -- Odell Beckham Jr., Rueben Randle and Dwayne Harris. Rookie sixth-round draft pick Geremy Davis could also see some snaps. The Giants worked out wide receivers Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks on Monday. If Cruz's setback turns out to be a long-term issue, they could look to the waiver wire for help at the wide receiver position.
