EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) β€” Watching rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. running past and around opponents is fueling Victor Cruz’s comeback from knee surgery.

Cruz on Wednesday said that his rehabilitation from patella tendon surgery more than two months ago is progressing, and that he hopes to start running soon.

The dynamic Giants wideout known for his salsa-dancing after touchdowns can bend his right knee, has full range of motion and is doing calf raises, leg raises, knee extensions and all the fun stuff that comes along with rehab.

The real fun has been watching Beckham and thinking about them being a dynamic one-two combination for quarterback Eli Manning in 2015.

Beckham has become the catalyst of the offense since Cruz was injured on Oct. 12 against Philadelphia.
