Victor Cruz continues to rehab from a devastating patellar tendon tear suffered six months ago. New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese was cautious Thursday when discussing the receiver, but said Cruz is tentatively on schedule to return by Week 1.

“He looked good, he’s running pretty good, right now and he’s scheduled to be back ready for the opener for us,” Reese said. “But until you get out there and turn it loose, you never know what a guy is going to do. But he looks great right now.”

Cruz told the media Thursday he’s been running in a straight line for a month now, but isn’t cutting on his knee yet. The veteran is confident he will be ready for the start of the season.

“There’s zero doubts that I’ll be playing in that first game,” he said.
