He was able to do some running on the side with trainers.Veteran Dwayne Harris and undrafted rookie Roger Lewis are expected to take most of Cruzs snaps on Monday Night Football (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/WatchESPN). Harris started against the Eagles because of his blocking ability, and Lewis caught a 30-yard touchdown pass later in the contest against the Eagles in Cruzs place.Tavarres King should also be in the Giants wide receiver mix against the Bengals.After having missed most of the past two seasons, Cruz played over 90 percent of the snaps the first seven weeks of the season.

He stayed on the field for the remainder of the drive but could be seen looking at the ankle after trying to run. The former Pro Bowl receiver had an X-ray and MRI, and both came back negative.The Giants and Cruz remain optimistic about his long-term outlook this year.

He has 25 catches for 377 yards and one touchdown this season. ' ' '
