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 Albert Wilson Jersey . – John Fox will coach the Denver Broncos from the sideline and not the booth upon his return Sunday five weeks after heart surgery.

In early August the judge will hear final arguments that will highlight opposing portraits of the Paralympic athlete – a gun-obsessed egotist who shot girlfriend Reeva Steekamp in a rage or a vulnerable figure with a disability who pulled the trigger in a tragic case of mistaken identity. The trial has transfixed South Africans and others around the world who recall the double-amputee runner competing on carbon fiber blades at the 2012 Olympics in London. The triumphant image of Pistorius racing alongside able-bodied athletes contrasts with the anguished spectacle in the Pretoria courtroom, where he faced a blistering interrogation by the prosecutor and sometimes wailed and retched in apparent distress, spittle dripping into a bucket at his feet. Pistorius, 27, was among several dozen witnesses, ranging from neighbours who heard screams on the night he killed Steenkamp, to experts who talked about the trajectory of the four bullets he fired through a closed toilet door to a former girlfriend and a sports physician who treated the star athlete for years. Pistorius says he killed Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model, by mistake, thinking an intruder was in the toilet and about to attack him; the prosecution says he shot her after a Valentines Day argument last year. Defence lawyer Barry Roux said he had finished calling witnesses, and that some people did not want to testify for the defence because of the publicity surrounding the case. Roux said he chose not to ask Judge Thokozile Masipa to compel them to appear, and also noted that a psychiatrist who evaluated Pistorius for the defence recently suffered a heart attack was not able to testify. "We close the case for the defence," Roux said. Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel then said the prosecution will file closing arguments on July 30 and the defence will do so on Aug. 4. He and Roux agreed to return to court on Aug. 7-8 to give final arguments before Judge Thokozile Masipa, who instructed that the media should not report on the legal summaries of either side until the final arguments start in court. Anyone responsible for a document leak is a "thief" who is undermining the interests of justice, said the red-robed juudge, who is a former journalist.dddddddddddd. Once final arguments occur, Masipa is expected to announce a further break during which she will deliberate on a verdict with the help of two legal assistants who flank her on a dais during court proceedings. The period of one month granted for legal teams to prepare final arguments will allow them to pore over the lengthy transcript of testimony, documents submitted by experts and other information in a complex trial, said Kelly Phelps, a senior lecturer in the public law department at the University of Cape Town who has closely followed the case. In April, the judge had said the court record for the Pistorius trial was already almost 2,000 pages. The trial, which began March 3, included a break of a month during which a group of mental health experts observed Pistorius and concluded he was not suffering an anxiety disorder when he killed Steenkamp. Pistorius, who is free on bail, faces 25 years to life in prison if found guilty of premeditated murder. He could also be sentenced to a shorter prison term if convicted of murder without premeditation or negligent killing. Additionally, he faces separate gun-related charges that the prosecutor has tried to use to strengthen his narrative of a pattern of dangerous and reckless behaviour by Pistorius, who once enjoyed lucrative sponsorship deals. Pistorius was born without fibulas, the slender bones that run from below the knee to the ankle. Parts of his lower legs were amputated when he was 11 months old. The last witness to testify was the athletes sports physician, Wayne Derman. He said Pistorius feels anxious, vulnerable and hindered by his disability, part of the defence effort to explain why he fired on a perceived intruder and was allegedly unable to flee. Nel, the prosecutor, countered that poor, homeless and older people can be vulnerable and said Pistorius was able to protect himself by living in a gated complex with security guards and an alarm system, and had a strong network of family and friends. The most dramatic stage of the trial was in April, when Nel questioned Pistorius for five days in a grueling cross-examination. At one point, Pistorius appeared to become emotional and said: "My life is on the line." Nel quickly responded: "Reeva doesnt have a life anymore."
