New York Giants WR Victor Cruz still out, unlikely for Cowboys

New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz did not practice Thursday and seems unlikely to play in the season opener Sunday night, but coach Tom Coughlin refused to rule him out.

Cruz hasn't practiced in three weeks as he recovers from a calf injury. Thursday was the final full workout before the Giants play the Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday.

The calf strain is unrelated to the torn patellar tendon that ended Cruz's 2014 season in October.
