Antonio Cromartie sits, Geno Smith returns to Jets' team drills, - New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie (sprained knee) missed practice for the second straight day, but he still hasn't been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Cromartie is "day to day, week to week," coach Todd Bowles said Thursday.
It's hard to be more vague than that.
Obviously, Bowles doesn't want to reveal too much. The Jets still have two practice days before departing for Indianapolis, so there's still recovery time for Cromartie. Bowles cautioned it's too early to categorize Cromartie's status as unlikely to play. He was seen in the locker room walking without any trace of a limp, but he has a ways to go. He didn't participate in positional drills during the media window at practice.
Meanwhile, rookie wide receiver Devin Smith (ribs) could make his NFL debut. He practiced fully for the second straight day and was able to withstand a little banging in practice, Bowles said. The coach was encouraged, but non-committal on Smith.
Running back Chris Ivory, coming off a two-touchdown game in the opener, showed up on the injury report with a groin injury. He was limited in practice; there were no indications he wouldn't be ready for Monday night.
Backup quarterback Geno Smith practiced for the first time since suffering a broken jaw, albeit on a limited basis. Smith already has been ruled out for this week, but he's getting closer. He's scheduled for an X-ray and checkup next week on his fractured jaw. Bowles said the timetable hasn't changed, meaning he expects Smith to miss the first four games.
