New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz announced on Monday that he will not play at all during the 2015 season.
Cruz is set to undergo season-ending surgery on his left calf. He spoke about the injury on Bleacher Report’s “Uninterrupted” platform.
“This hurts, mainly because I worked so hard to come back from the patellar tendon surgery and fought hard day in and day out,” Cruz explained. “I felt like I was back to 100 percent and then the calf happens. It’s a tough thing to go through emotionally and physically.”
Cruz appeared in just six games last season before suffering a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee. He dealt with the calf injury all summer and suffered a setback in late September when it appeared he was set to return.
Between the injury and the rumors about his personal life, it has been a tough year for Cruz. All he can do now is look forward to 2016.
