It&#8217;s a risky move by the Jets, Cromartie was diagnosed with a sprained knee. The average recovery time for a sprained knee is two to three weeks. Devin Smith practiced fully this week, and was looking to make his debut. Even if Smith had played, he would have likely seen a condensed amount of time on the field. Smith will have to work his way up the depth chart after missing almost all of training camp, and the entire preseason.<\/p>\n<p>Other inactives include: Geno Smith, Darrin Walls, Lorenzo Mauldin, Deon Simon, Ben Ijalana, and Jarvis Harrison<\/p>\n<p>Geno Smith is expected to be healthy, and eligible by week four. Even once Geno is healthy, he isn&#8217;t guaranteed the starting position. Todd Bowles has made it clear that if Ryan Fitzpatrick is leading the team, and minimizing any mistakes he will remain the starting quarterback. It&#8217;s a smart philosophy, why change a winning formula? It&#8217;ll be interesting to see what happens if Fitzpatrick begins to falter though. Will the Jets turn back to Smith, or possibly rookie Bryce Petty?<\/p>\n<p>Darrin Walls was doubtful for the game with a hamstring injury. If Cromartie wasn&#8217;t able to go for today&#8217;s game, Walls and Marcus Williams would have likely alternated at the second cornerback position with Buster Skrine in the slot if Walls was healthy. It&#8217;s highly likely we could still see Williams in certain packages to relieve Cromartie with his injury, and Williams&#8217; impressive week one performance.<\/p>\n<p>Lorenzo Mauldin is out for today&#8217;s game, and he&#8217;s likely okay with that. It&#8217;s essentially the best case scenario for the rookie who suffered a concussion in last week&#8217;s game against the Browns. The injury initially seemed much worse, and with the good news that Mauldin will be okay the Jets can ease him back into the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>Rookie Deon Simon will also be inactive for today&#8217;s game. Simon had an impressive finish to the preseason, but will likely receive a &#8220;redshirt&#8221; season with so much depth on the defensive line. As of now, T.J. Barnes is backing up nose tackle Damon Harrison.<\/p>\n<p>Both Ben Ijalana and Jarvis Harrison will be inactive again in today&#8217;s game. It will be good news for Jets fans if they don&#8217;t have to see either Ijalana or Harrison getting any playing time this season. If that were the case, it&#8217;d likely mean there were multiple injuries or one of the starters was doing their best Wayne Hunter impression.<\/p>\n<p>Facing the Colts on Monday Night Football will be a true test of where Todd Bowles&#8217; Jets are. If they can come away with a win, it&#8217;ll be the first time in four years that the Jets have started 2-0. Many believe the Jets&#8217; win against the Browns came against a push-over opponent. This will be a chance for the Jets to prove they&#8217;re the real deal in front of the nation on Monday Night Football in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.@CRO31 active for #NYJvsIND#Jets inactives:J.
