EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – When the New York Giants came up with a defensive plan for the Indianapolis Colts and Andrew Luck, there was a question mark in it.
It was how much can cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie give the Giants against the NFL’s top-ranked offense?
A major offseason free agent acquisition, Rodgers-Cromartie has been bothered by back and hamstring injuries for more than a month. He has practiced for the past two days on a limited basis, but neither coach Tom Coughlin nor defensive coordinator Perry Fewell could say much Friday about his status for Monday night’s game at MetLife Stadium.
Coughlin doubted he would be able to count on Rodgers-Cromartie as an every-down player. Fewell added that the veteran has practiced well, but he was concerned how he will feel Saturday.
