Victor Cruz aims to pass conditioning test

Jul 28, 2016

The good news for wide receiver Victor Cruz is that he wasn't one of the three Giants that coach Ben McAdoo said will start training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

But Cruz isn't out of the woods yet. McAdoo said he wouldn't make a determination on Cruz' status until after Thursday afternoon's conditioning tests.

"We'll find out here in a little bit," McAdoo said during his first press conference of camp on Thursday. "We have the conditioning evaluation. We're going to get a bunch of guys out there, move them around, do football specific movements and see how they recover from that. He looked good today when I saw him."

Fantasy Impact:

Cruz is trying to make a comeback after missing most of the past two seasons. The former Pro Bowl receiver missed the entire 2015 season with a torn calf muscle and he was sidelined for the final 10 games of the 2014 season with a torn patella tendon.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
