Antonio Cromartie is a go for Thursday Night Football.
The Cardinals cornerback took the field against the St. Louis Rams after being listed as questionable with an ankle injury.
It's a dramatic turnaround after Arizona first believed Cromartie might have suffered an Achilles injury in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Washington Redskins.
With Cromartie healthy, he teams up with All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson against Kenny Britt, Stedman Bailey and second-year St. Louis jitterbug Tavon Austin.
Tonight's quarterback matchup between Shaun Hill of the Rams and Drew Stanton of the Cards doesn't promise fireworks, but we're staring at a potential gem on defense (exclusively shown on NFL Network). Cromartie suiting up makes it all the better.
Other injuries we're tracking on Thursday:
- Eddie Lacy admitted there's a ways to go before he's cleared for Sunday and that he wouldn't want to put the Packers in a disadvantageous position if he's unable to play effectively, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
- Redskins coach Jay Gruden told reporters that wideout DeSean Jackson (leg) was limited for the second straight day ahead of Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants.
- Also for Washington, Gruden noted that offensive tackle Morgan Moses is being placed on injured reserve with a Lisfranc injury.
- Browns coach Mike Pettine told reporters that linebacker Karlos Dansby (knee) is getting closer to playing after a good practice on Wednesday. We still consider him a long shot for Sunday's Bengals showdown.
- For the Falcons: Julio Jones and William Mooremissed Thursday's practice, but head coach Mike Smith said "there is a good chance" both will play Sunday. Jones and Moore are game-time decisions.
- Jets coach Rex Ryan said that Muhammad Wilkerson is "50-50" for Sunday's game, per ESPN.
- Saints left tackle Terron Armstead said Thursday that he expects to play Monday against the Bears, per ESPN.
- Still recovering from a concussion, Andre Johnson did not practice Thursday for the Texans. Arian Foster (groin), Brian Cushing (back/ankle) and Johnathan Joseph (knee/Achilles) were all limited.
- Jamaal Charles and Anthony Fasano were limited for the Chiefs on Thursday, per ESPN.
