On WFAN: Giants' Victor Cruz Says He Feels No Pain, Is Almost There

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz joined WFAN hosts Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton in studio on Wednesday morning, and the 2012 Pro Bowler was in good spirits.

Cruz suffered a torn patellar tendon against the Eagles on Oct. 12 and missed the final 10 games of the season.

He's been working tirelessly to get back to full health, and he told Boomer & Carton that he's making tremendous progress.

"I'm feeling good, I'm almost there," the 28-year-old said. "I started running on this fancy little machine that kind of lets me run with using a percentage -- not all my body weight, kind of half my body weight. So we started the process."

The Paterson, N.J., native told the radio duo that he'll likely get on the field and start running in about a month.

"They're taking baby steps with me," Cruz said. "I want to get out there ... (There's) no pain. I trust the structure of (my knee). I trust the way it was rebuilt. It feels very strong. I kind of do that test in the morning, kind of give it a little wiggle and see how it feels. It's passing every test so far."

The fan favorite admitted that the rehabilitation process was not easy for him, but it appears that the worst is over.

"It's very lonely and very difficult," Cruz said. "The first 10 weeks were the hardest. Just sitting there, you can't do anything but leg raises. I did about 400 leg raises a day. And the season's going on, so you've gotta kind of work around that schedule. There's only so much you can do within the first 10 weeks."

In six games last season, Cruz caught 23 passes for 337 yards and scored a touchdown.
