Cruz’s year over before it began

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.— The New York Giants’ wait for Victor Cruz is over. The veteran wide receiver disclosed he needs season-ending surgery to repair a small tear in his left calf. A date for the procedure has not been set, he said. Cruz has not played in a game since tearing a patellar tendon against Philadelphia in October 2014. He reported to training camp, but injured the calf in mid-August and aggravated it at least twice after that. Cruz earned $6.15 million this season without playing a down.
