flgreen Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 NY Jets top cornerback Antonio Cromartie iffy against Dolphins Cromartie did not practice Wednesday, and even though the veteran has played poorly this season, it would still be a blow to the struggling secondary. Comments (2) BY SETH WALDER / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2013, 11:18 PM Print SHARE THIS URL: ROB CARR/GETTY IMAGES Antonio Cromartie leaves the field during the fourth quarter of the Jets' 19-3 loss to the Ravens. The Jets have enough problems with the deep ball, and now they might have to handle Mike Wallace and the Dolphins without top cornerback Antonio Cromartie. Rex Ryan said Wednesday that Cromartie could be a game-time decision on Sunday at MetLife with a hip injury. “That’s tough to call right now,” Ryan said of Cromartie’s chances of playing. “That one truly could be a game-timer or something like that. We know he’s had a history. He’s a durable guy.” Cromartie did not practice Wednesday, and even though the veteran has played poorly this season, it would still be a blow to the struggling secondary. “Cro’s one of the better corners in the league, so obviously we’d make adjustments,” Ryan said. “Hopefully, we don’t have to find that out. Hopefully he’s able to play.” KERLEY CLOSE WR Jeremy Kerley (elbow) hasn’t played since Week 9 against New Orleans, and though his health is improving, he isn’t sure if he’ll be a go on Sunday. He played catch with one hand for most of last week, but now is using both hands. “Yeah. I’d catch with three hands if I had them,” he said. “I think when we all saw the injury we’d say that there’s no way, but he was out there today,” Ryan said. “He did not have a red (non-contact) jersey on, but it’s almost like, ‘Don’t touch him.’ ” Gang Green desperately could use some help at wide receiver, and after the Jets went 1-for-12 on third down last week, he might help in that area. “That’s one of my strong suits,” Kerley said. “I just want to step on the field.” WEARING ON NICK Nick Mangold was limited by a wrist injury and didn’t take part in positional drills during the media portion of practice. Nevertheless, Ryan and Mangold seemed unconcerned. Mangold said it was just “wear and tear.” “Nothing major that I’m concerned about,” he said. SNAP DECISION Stephen Hill played in only 46% of the Jets’ offensive snaps last week and didn’t register a catch in the 19-3 loss to the Ravens, and Ryan wouldn’t use Hill’s health as an excuse. “No, it’s not that,” Ryan said. “We’re trying to play the best players.” Hill hasn’t caught a pass since a 49-9 loss to the Bengals on Oct. 27. Wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal had told Hill last week that his reps would be diminishing. Hill did not think the reduced snaps were because of performance and said he expects to go back to regular playing time next week.

New York Mick Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 He's been iffy all year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Mixed blessing, really. He's not going to be on the team next year, anyway. Let's start Milliner and Walls to see how much of a need corner will be in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 this could be the same hip he hurt in PS and could explain the reason for his play this year but cro sucks, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexiRoll6 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Cro is 'iffy' period. He's been burnt as many times as the rook. Father Time has caught up with him for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Time has caught up with him for sure. father time creeps up on you, like ed reed when your play falls off the edge of a cliff, a hip injury is a more logical explanation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Cro has been bad all season for sure, but I don't think it's that he's getting old, he's only 29. He should be in the peak of his career. He has had an injured hip all season that is probably what's causing it. The question is, will the hip ever get better?
