Giants WR Victor Cruz shed his red "no contact" jersey for practice Friday, a pretty clear indication that his neck shouldn't be an issue Sunday.  His matchup against a flammable Raiders pass D makes Cruz 1 of this week's most attractive plays.

Giants WR Victor Cruz missed practice Wednesday with lingering stiffness and discomfort in his neck from a Week 8 injury.  He told the Star-Ledger, however, that he expects to return Thursday and play Sunday against the Raiders.  Assuming that happens, Cruz will carry big upside.  Oakland, of course, got torched for 7 TD passes by the Eagles last Sunday.

Giants WR Victor Cruz (neck) was held out of practice on Wednesday.  He suffered a stinger back in Week 8 but was able to practice on Monday.  "I wouldn't call it a setback, but obviously it's an issue," HC Tom Coughlin said.  "He could practice if we really needed him to practice."  It sounds like Cruz is only being held out only as a precaution.  Look for him to get back on the field tomorrow and be a full-go for this weekend's plus matchup against the Raiders.

Giants WR Victor Cruz suffered a neck injury in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game.  He was able to jog off the field but then headed back to the locker room for x-rays.  We'll update Cruz's status when we learn more.  #3 WR Rueben Randle would move up a peg if Cruz misses time.  He needs to be owned in all fantasy leagues.

Update: Cruz returned for New York's next possession.

Chiefs top CB Brandon Flowers (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Giants.  It's good news for WRs Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks, who should both be in fantasy lineups despite duds last week.

The Giants will be without RG Chris Snee (hip) and C David Baas (knee) for Week 4.  It's horrible timing with a matchup against the Chiefs and their league-leading 15 sacks on tap.  It's going to be a tough day for QB Eli Manning and the Giants' skill-position players.  The Chiefs defense is an excellent fantasy play.

As expected, Giants WR Victor Cruz (heel) is active for tonight's game against the Cowboys.  He was limited in practice all week but was listed as probable.  Cruz is expected to play a full slate of snaps tonight and should be locked into fantasy lineups.

Giants WR Victor Cruz practiced on Monday, and HC Tom Coughlin deemed him "full speed ahead."  The preseason foot injury Cruz suffered is no longer a concern.  He's a must-start for Sunday night's showdown against the Cowboys.

Giants WR Victor Cruz returned to practice on Monday.  It was his 1st workout since injuring his foot on August 18th.  Cruz is on track to be ready for Sunday night's season opener against the Cowboys.  He'll be a must-start as long as he's on the field.

Giants insider Ralph Vacchiano guesses that WR Victor Cruz (foot) will be listed as "questionable" for Week 1.  Cruz admits that he might still not be ready to practice on Monday but is confident he'll be ready for the Sunday nighter against the Cowboys.  "In my mind, I am," he said when asked if he's playing.  We're still expecting Cruz to be on the field for the opener, but don't consider it a lock.

Giants WR Victor Cruz admits that he's still dealing with swelling in his foot when he wakes up in the morning. It's concerning news just 11 days away from the season opener.  The Giants haven't revealed a whole lot about Cruz's injury.  He suffered it on a non-contact play in the team's 2nd preseason game.  We know that he was originally on crutches and in a walking boot after suffering the injury, but he's now boot-less.  Cruz is hoping to return to practice on Monday and says he'll "absolutely" be ready for Week 1.  We still haven't moved Cruz down our WR rankings, but keep the foot injury in mind when deciding between him and similarly ranked players.  WR Rueben Randle is worth adding as a handcuff for Cruz (or Hakeem Nicks) owners.

Giants WR Victor Cruz was spotted without a walking boot on his injured foot Monday.  All signs point toward Cruz being on the field for Week 1.  There's no reason to bump him down your fantasy football cheat sheet.

Giants GM Jerry Reese wouldn't fully commit to WR Victor Cruz (foot) being ready for Week 1, only saying that he's "hopeful."  Added Reese, "He’s day to day, and he’s got a strong will, and he says he’ll be ready, and I believe him."  We're expecting Cruz to be good to go for the opener -- and we haven't moved him down our WR rankings.  But the situation bears monitoring over the next 2 weeks.

Giants WR Victor Cruz showed up on Tuesday in a walking boot and on crutches.  It looks like the injury he suffered on Sunday night is a bit more serious than the team initially let on.  Cruz told the media that it's a heel injury.  An MRI revealed no tears.  Cruz added that he still expects to be ready for Week 1, but we wouldn't consider that a lock just yet.  Foot injuries can be tough for skill-position players to deal with.  We'll continue to keep a close eye on this one.

Giants WR Victor Cruz was knocked out of Sunday night's preseason game with a foot injury.  He underwent x-rays at the stadium that came back negative.  The Giants are calling it a "bruised heel."  Cruz might miss some practice time but is in no danger of missing Week 1.  Draft him as you normally would.

Giants WR Victor Cruz left in the 1st quarter of Sunday night's game with a foot injury.  ESPN's Dan Graziano reports that Cruz had the foot X-rayed at the stadium, but there's no word yet on results.  We'll obviously keep an eye on a potentially significant fantasy football injury.
