EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Overcome with emotion, his hands in front of his eyes as the tears flowed, Victor Cruz couldnt hide his pain.If anything showed the extent of the knee injury that Cruz sustained against the Philadelphia Eagles, it was those tears.NFL players get hurt every week. They lay on the field, clutch or grab the injured part of their body and groan when helped off the field. The patellar tendon the New York Giants wide receiver tore in his right knee in the third quarter of Sunday nights 27-0 loss left him crying as he was carted off the field next to trainer Byron Hansen.Cruz underwent successful surgery Monday afternoon. The surgery was performed by team physician Dr. Russell Warren at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.The best his teammates and Eagles players could do was tap him on the shoulder in support as he left the field. Its the second straight year the 27-year-old Cruz had his season ended early by a knee injury. He had surgery on his left knee in December after being hurt against Seattle.This one seemed far more serious for the fan favourite who entertains Giants faithful with salsa dances after catching touchdowns.Coach Tom Coughlin said Monday that Cruz, who had 23 receptions for 337 yards, a touchdown and a team-high 14.7 yard average, will need surgery. The coach did not know when the surgery would be performed or the length of the rehabilitation.Certainly there was a lot of pain and he is going to have to go through a lot to get back to where he was, Coughlin said of the former free agent who emerged as the Giants big playmaker. He has been challenged his whole life and I dont see him backing down from any challenge whatsoever. He is an outstanding contributor to our team in a lot of ways, one of which was on the field and the other was what he meant in the locker room. We will miss all those things.Cruz was injured on a non-contact play. The fifth-year veteran, a captain this season, tried to make a leaping catch of a fourth-down pass in the end zone with the Giants trailing 20-0. He jumped and almost immediately grabbed his knee and fell to the turf, where he lay for about five minutes.Coughlin did not indicate who would replace Cruz as the Giants (3-3) head to Dallas (5-1).It is obvious that first-round draft pick Odell Beckham Jr. will get more playing time. He might even move into the slot position Cruz played in three-receiver formations.Quarterback Eli Manning had sent Cruz a text message after the game, but he had not back from the teammate, who was a Pro Bowl pick in 2012. He said Beckham, Rueben Randle and Preston Parker have to step up and fill the void.You just hate it happened to Victor because he loves playing this game, Manning said. He loves the practices. He loves competing, making plays, he is such a team player and leader in the locker room. He has a great attitude toward the game of football, and so to see him get injured and be out for the season, I feel for him.Veteran defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka said players realize injuries happen and the best thing that they can do is continue to play hard.On the very next play you just want to go out and give it everything you got and use that as a reminder that you dont know how much time you have to play this game, Kiwanuka said. Everybody thinks Im tired this week or Im this this week, but you might not be able to play next week. A lot of guys go down and a lot of them ... that injury might have a long-term effect on their career. So while you have the opportunity you have to make the most out of it.Cruz spent Sunday night at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. He was transferred on Monday to the Hospital for Special Surgery.Coughlin also said backup cornerback Trumaine McBride sustained a dislocated thumb that will require surgery. Starting cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is a question mark against Dallas after leaving Sunday nights game with back spasms. He had been bothered by ankle and leg injuries on his right side in recent weeks.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Adidas Tubular Sale Uk . Saskatchewans Darian Durant is expected to miss the rest of the Roughriders season with a torn tendon in his right elbow.
