EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Wide receiver Victor Cruz seemingly is a go for the New York Giants' season opener at Dallas.
Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was more of a question mark Monday as the Giants started preparations for Sunday night's game with both practicing
For Cruz, it was his first workout with the team since bruising his left heel in a preseason game against the Colts on Aug. 18. He missed the final two exhibition games, but he seemed to run without any problem Monday.
