The New York Giants' already-struggling defense could be a man down.
New York Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers Cromartie left the Thursday Night Football game against Washington with an apparent calf injury and is questionable to return according to Tracy Wolfson of NFL Network.
Midway through the second quarter, Rodgers-Cromartie exited the game and was on the sideline receiving treatment from the team's medical staff.
The Giants's secondary has done its job, holding Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins to just 89 yards through the air and allowing one touchdown. Meanwhile on offense, the Giants are rolling in all phases of the game with 150 yards passing and 48 yards on the ground.
New York has struggled mightily on defense through three games and is looking to turn things around on defense. If it's without Rodgers-Cromartie for an extended period, that's going to prove more difficult as they navigate the high-powered offenses of the NFC East.
The Giants currently lead Washington, 21-7 as the first half is coming to a close.
UPDATE: Rodgers-Cromartie has returned in the second quarter.
