Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee during Sunday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Facing a 20-0 deficit early in the third quarter, the Giants decided to go for it on 4th-and-goal from the 3. Cruz dropped what would have been a touchdown before grabbing his right knee. It appeared that Cruz's knee buckled as he tried to make the catch.
Cruz entered the game with 21 catches for 321 yards and one touchdown this season. In 14 games last year, he hauled in 73 passes for 998 yards and four scores.
Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie left the game with back spasms.
