FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie sat out practice for the second straight day, and quarterback Geno Smith was upgraded to limited for the first time since having his jaw broken by a punch from a teammate.

Cromartie, who sprained his left knee Sunday against Cleveland, has not been ruled out for New York’s game at Indianapolis on Monday night. Coach Todd Bowles says the cornerback is “day to day, week to week.”

Linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin (concussion) and cornerback Darrin Walls (hamstring) didn’t practice. Guards James Carpenter (back) and Willie Colon (knee), running back Chris Ivory (groin) and safety Jaiquawn Jarrett (shoulder) were limited.

More ‘Deflategate’

The NFL has filed documents with an appeals court, saying why it disagrees with a federal judge’s ruling in “Deflategate.”

The 200-page filing with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday consists almost entirely of exhibits from the district court. In that case, Judge Richard Berman vacated NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

The NFL has said it will appeal Berman’s ruling. The league says the judge erred in his analysis of the law and precedents in at least three instances.
