Despite optimism, Victor Cruz still not practicing

Oct 27, 2015

Despite some optimism, Giants WR Victor Cruz is still not practicing. He meets with the doctors again on Thursday, hoping to hear some positive news on his calf.

There seems to be signs of optimism in this all-around unpleasant situation.

"There is no timetable set for me just yet," Cruz said during the premiere for his documentary on Monday night. "I meet with the doctors again this Thursday and take it from there.

"I feel better and I know that I'm progressing because the previous MRI showed the area of discomfort has gotten a lot smaller. Hopefully that trend continues and I'll be out there sooner or later."

Fantasy Impact:

First Cruz has to get cleared and make it through a practice. That didn't go so well last time around, when he lasted three plays and aggravated the calf injury on Sept. 30.

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.
