Coughlin: Giants can't count on CB Rodgers-Cromartie as an every-day player
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.
