The New York Jets are hoping for good news regarding cornerback Antonio Cromartie, but that might not happen. Today an MRI will be conducted, and a source with knowledge of the situation told Pro Football Talk that the team currently are bracing for a diagnosis involving injury to the ACL and/or MCL.

In many cases, an ACL injury can be detected by a lack of stability in the knee. But an MRI always is used to determine the exact extent of the damage. The feeling around the team suggest this could be a season-ending injury. Fellow free-agent addition Buster Skrine replaced Cromartie following the injury and would be asked to play a bigger role if Cromartie is done for the season.
