Good morning, New York Giants fans! In case you weren't paying attention Tuesday night, you wake up today to a Giants roster that has been shuffled due to Sunday's injuries.
Victor Cruz and Trumaine McBride were placed on IR. Cornerback Chandler Fenner was added from the practice squadto provide depth at that spot. Journeyman wide receiver Kevin Ogletree was signed to fill Cruz's roster spot. The Giants also made several practice squad moves, notably putting sixth-round pick Bennett Jackson on injured reserve/practice squad.
Now, let's see what else is being written and said about the Giants.

Inside view from Victor Cruz’s trainer: ‘He’ll scrap his way back’ | New York Post
"I expect him to attack the rehab just like he’s attacked everything else," Sean Donellan told The Post of Cruz, who is out for the season after tearing his patellar tendon in the Giants’ 27-0 Sunday night loss to the Eagles. "He loves proving people wrong. He’s been told his entire life, ‘The doors are closed.’ He wasn’t a Notre Dame guy, a Michigan guy. He wasn’t a big-time D-1 recruit. He wasn’t a draft pick. He scrapped his way onto the field, and he’ll scrap his way back from this."
"I know a lot of people are saying he can’t or won’t be the same after the surgery, and they have pointed out other players who haven’t come back the same, but I have worked with some of those guys and the difference is Victor will outwork them.
"And he will be back. I have no question about that whatsoever."
