New York Giants starting linebacker Jonathan Casillas is a question mark for Monday night's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Casillas was a surprise addition to Saturday's injury report due to a calf issue. He is listed as questionable, as is the case with Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz.

In his second season with New York and eighth year in the NFL, Casillas has 60 tackles in eight games and is on pace to surpass his career best of 88 set last season with the Giants.

Cruz is dealing with a sprained ankle that kept him out of practice Thursday and Friday. He has 25 receptions for 377 yards and a touchdown.

Left guard Justin Pugh is the only player ruled out for New York. He is dealing with a knee sprain that is expected to sideline him for weeks.

For the Bengals, linebacker Rey Maualuga (fibula) is the only player ruled out for the prime-time matchup against the Giants.

Maualuga has seen his playing time dip over the past few weeks. He has registered 20 tackles for the season, including a total of nine over the past five games.
