New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie left the team's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fourth quarter after colliding with teammate Yeremiah Bell. Cromartie is being evaluated in the locker room, and his return is questionable, per Jets' official Twitter account.
Cromartie and Bell hit each other helmet-to-helmet on a play that nearly resulted in an interception. Cromartie was able to jog off the field following the hit, but stayed off the field for the remainder of the series, as well as during the Jaguars' next offensive possession. The Jets used Kyle Wilson, Darrin Walls and Ellis Lankster at the cornerback positions in Cromartie's absence.
