No ACL damage for Rodgers-Cromartie
Arizona Cardinals cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie does not have any ligament damage to his ACL and he injured -- but didn't tear -- his MCL, per Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic.
He also has a chipped bone in his tibia. According to Somers, DRC will undergo tests this week to determine if surgery is needed.
Considering that Rodgers-Cromartie thought he tore ligaments in his knee, this comes as good news for a defense that allowed 45 points in back-to-back playoff games.
On the season, DRC led the team with six interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. He also forced three fumbles in 2009.
Only four defensive backs (Philadelphia's Asante Samuel, New Orleans' Darren Sharper, Green Bay's Charles Woodson and Buffalo's Jairus Byrd) had more picks than DRC in 2009.
