EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz returned Tuesday from a groin injury with his heaviest workload and most productive practice of the summer. For the first time in weeks, there was reason for optimism.The groin injury Cruz had been dealing with didnt appear to limit him Tuesday, when he took 18 snaps during live drills and caught a team-high seven passes.The plan is for Cruz to be back out at practice Wednesday and to play in Saturdays preseason game against the New York Jets. It would be his first game in 22 months.Cruzs teammates were impressed.He came out, looked fresh [Tuesday], wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said. Again, the biggest thing is just Sept. 11. I know he would definitely like to get some preseason in. Its been a little minute since hes played.In my opinion, he looked great.Cruz hadnt made it through a full practice in more than two weeks because of the groin injury. He did dress for Saturdays preseason contest against the Buffalo Bills and ran through pregame warmups.There were more positive signs at Tuesdays practice, when Cruz mostly worked alongside Beckham and Sterling Shepard as the first-team receivers. He caught all his passes from quarterback Eli Manning.There was one play in particular where he shot off the line and made a quick juke to the inside to beat cornerback Donte Deayon. It opened some eyes.Hes quick, said Deayon, an undrafted rookie out of Boise State. I didnt think hed be that quick off the line right now. But he came off the line real quick and he got me. ... He shook and he shot across the field. He has his step back, hes quick and hes a veteran, so he knows his game.Cruz, 29, has missed most of the past two seasons with knee and calf injuries. He tore the patellar tendon in his right knee on Oct. 12, 2014, against the Philadelphia Eagles.Beckham continues to reiterate that the goal for Cruz should be the Sept. 11 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. But the Giants are anxious for Cruz to get on the field, hopefully as soon as this weekend against the Jets.Its important. Its the game, coach Ben McAdoo said. That is what he is looking forward to. That is what we are looking forward to seeing him do.McAdoo said last week the Giants still havent been able to make an evaluation on him this summer. Hes hoping this week provides some information.Well find out more [Tuesday] and [Wednesday], McAdoo said before Tuesdays practice. But Im looking forward to seeing him. It was nice to see him in a uniform in pregame the other day.After coming through unscathed Tuesday, the next step is to string together back-to-back practices. Cruzs legs need to prove they can handle the pounding of football work. Then its onto getting through the week and playing in the game. But for one day at least, the Giants were happy with where this situation is headed after years of health struggles.Its great to see Vic back out there, Beckham said. Hes been through quite a lot.

NEWTON, Iowa -- Every year, Team Penske arrives in Iowa with a host of championship-contending drivers and leaves without a win.The 10th edition of the IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway could be Penskes best shot at breaking through.The grueling demands of Iowas 0.875-mile bull ring typically rewards the most skilled drivers. Penske has plenty of those, as Simon Pagenaud, Helio Castroneves and Will Power entered the weekend first, second and third in the point standings.Pagenaud will start Sundays race from the pole, followed by Josef Newgarden, Castroneves, Max Chilton and Charlie Kimball.Still, Penske has lagged far behind Andretti Autosport, winner of the last six races and seven of nine overall on IndyCars shortest track.Weve been close many times, said Castroneves, winless in Iowa despite two poles and five starts on the front row. The good news is Team Penske is one, two, three, and thats our goal to keep going all the way to the end of the season. But we have a big test here.Andretti could use another strong showing in Iowa to push at least one of its drivers into championship contention.Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi leads the way for the team in 10th, just one point ahead of teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay.Hunter-Reay has won the last two races in Iowa. Last seasons victory helped turn a miserable season into a decent one as Hunter-Reay went on to win at Pocono and finish sixth in the standings.Hunter-Reay has also finished in the top four in each of his last two races.ddddddddddddBut replicating his previous success here might be tough.Hunter-Reay had a miserable qualifying session and will start 20th out of 22 cars. Although no driver has ever won from the pole in Iowa, no one has taken first after starting from so far behind either.It doesnt really change my mentality at all. Every year I have to come back and work just as hard to get it done. Seems like it gets harder and harder every year, actually, Hunter-Reay said.Perhaps Sunday will provide Newgarden an opportunity to thrust himself into the championship conversation. Newgarden took second behind Hunter-Reay in 2014 and 2015, and hell start on the front row at Iowa for the first time all season.Yeah, its always tough. I mean, when you qualify second you think Ah! Its just really hard to qualify second. You almost wish you qualified fifth or something. That sounds really stupid, but its always tough; we needed that last little bit, Newgarden said. But its nothing to complain about. I think we have fast cars.Should Penske fail to win yet again in Iowa this weekend, it can take solace in the fact its drivers will get at least two more chances here.Iowa Speedway announced Saturday that it has extended its agreement with IndyCar through 2018.
