New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie is feeling good and has a good chance to play tonight against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, according to Pro Football Talk.
But, Cromartie isn't the only player injured likely to play tonight, as T.Y. Hilton is expected to play as well, according to Pro Football Talk.
Cromartie was injured against the Cleveland Browns last week. At first the injury was feared to be severe, but turned out to only be a knee sprain. Marcus Williams replaced the injured Cromartie last week, and filled in nicely with three tackles and an interception.
The Jets will likely need their star corner tonight as Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts will be looking to shake off the loss against the Buffalo Bills last week. Hilton will reportedly look to start tonight, and he and Luck will likely try to pick up from last week.
Hilton likely wasn't be happy with his performance last week, despite grabbing seven balls for 88 receiving yards, since the Colts lost. The Jets have a intimidating defense, but Indianapolis has weapons to test the strength of the New York defense.
Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie against Andre Johnson and T.Y. Hilton might be one of the best scenario matchups of the seasons. It will be interesting to see how both Cromartie and Hilton play while dealing with knee injuries. The game truly is a showdown of offense against defense, and Luck and Hilton will need something better than their performance last week as they are going against another top defense from the Jets.
