Rodgers-Cromartie is dealing with both back spasms and a hamstring injury. The hamstring issue is something that has plagued him for a few weeks now. The back spasms, which are believed to be a result of the hamstring problem, arose during Sunday's loss to the Eagles

If Rodgers-Cromartie were unable to play Sunday, the Giants would be left with four other corners: Prince Amukamara, Jayron Hosley, Zack Bowman and Chandler Fenner. 

Giants head coach Tom Coughlin "didn't give any indication that [Rodgers-Cromartie] will play Sunday," Mitchell Abramson of the New York Daily News reports.

Offensive lineman Doug Free and linebacker Bruce Carter are out for the Cowboys.
