Antonio Cromartie, Nick Mangold In Uniform At Jets Practice
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie has returned to the practice field, participating in positional drills and returning punts four days after suffering a bruised lung and ribs.
Cromartie might still be limited in the team portion of practice Thursday, but getting back on the field is a sign that he could be ready to play in New York's game at Baltimore on Sunday night. He was injured during the Jets' 34-24 loss against the Oakland Raiders last Sunday.
Center Nick Mangold was also in full uniform for the first time since suffering a high right ankle sprain against Jacksonville two weeks ago. He warmed up with the team before heading over to the side to work with trainers during the 30-minute window the media are allowed to watch.
