The New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie recently missed the team’s minicamp, claiming that there was fatigue in his left hip. However, reporters are guessing that he might use the wrong excuse to take a leave because it was his right hip that was fractured during the 2008 season when he was playing in New Orleans Saints jersey.
Cromartie’s agent Gary Wichard recently told reporters that his client had an issue with his hip without specifying which hip was the one that prevented Cromartie from working out. So did Jets secondary coach Dennis Thurman when he was receiving interview from ESPN.
“His hamstring was fatigued and his hip was fatigued,” Wichard said. “(Thurman) was the one who chose to give him a few reps off. It wasn’t a big deal. At the end of the day, it was not the same hip that was hurt two years ago. It’s a nonissue. It was nothing. It’s typical training fatigue. He’s fine.”
No matter which hip was bothering Cromartie, at least one thing is for sure according to his agent. That is, he is fine and will be ok for game days. Perhaps he was just taking the hip as an excuse for staying out of hard work in minicamp.
