WR Victor Cruz is seeking a long-term contract extension and wants more than the current $7 million-per-year offer sources say he has on the table from the Giants.

Meanwhile, his tender remains unsigned.

At least one league source familiar with Cruz’s situation believes it will remain that way — and Cruz will remain absent from the program — at least until next week. As a restricted free agent, Cruz has until Friday to solicit an offer sheet from another team. In the unlikely event that he gets one, the Giants would have five days to decide whether they’d want to match it. If they didn’t, they would receive a first-round pick in this year’s draft from the team that presented Cruz the offer.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

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.
