For New York Giants wideout Victor Cruz, his 2015 season was over before it even began as it was announced that he will have surgery and be out the remainder of the year.
Cruz himself made the announcement via an UNINTERRUPTED video posted to Bleacher Report Monday morning.
“I just got news that I will be having season-ending surgery on my left calf,’’ he said. “This hurts, mainly because I worked so hard to come back from the patella tendon surgery and I fought hard, day in and day out rehab, physical work, strength work and felt like I was back to 100 percent and then the calf happens and it’s tough thing to go through. A tough thing to go through emotionally, physically, but I know that God has a plan for me. I know that I have to re-tool my brain and re-tool my body to get back to 100 percent and really attack this thing and really come out the other end firing.
“I’m excited, actually, for the challenge, to go back and get my body taken care of and get back to 100 percent and see what happens and really see where it goes.’’
Cruz became the team’s go-to receiver and signed a five-year, $45.879 million contract prior to the 2014 season. However, he suffered a torn patellar tendon against the Philadelphia Eagles last year, which ended his season. He hasn’t been back since, but the team has star wideout Odell Beckham Jr. and as ESPN noted, Cruz’s replacement Dwayne Harris, has performed well this year. This has led many fans to speculate if the 29-year-old Cruz will be suiting up for Giants next season.
