INDIANAPOLIS -- All Antonio Cromartie really wanted was a chance to play football this season.Lining up on a playoff contender that was one win away from the Super Bowl two years ago is an added bonus.Less than 24 hours after the Indianapolis Colts signed the veteran cornerback, Cromartie came back to the Colts complex and got right to work like hed never missed a day.I love the irony of it, Cromartie said Tuesday. Me and (Darren) Sproles, they called us Colts killers when we were in San Diego together. But Im glad Im here now.Indianapolis desperately needed someone like Cromartie to fill the void left by a rash of injuries. How much can Indy really expect from a 32-year-old coming off his worst statistical season since 2006? The Colts believe he can fit right in and be a prominent contributor.Two years ago, Cromartie made the Pro Bowl, then followed Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles to New York. The Jets signed him to a four-year, $32 million contract. While Cromartie cashed in, the Jets wound up getting just 26 tackles and no interceptions out of their investment.Naturally, New York cut Cromartie in April.The former Florida State player spent the next four months getting healthy, working out and waiting for the phone to ring as rumors swirled about a hip injury. When the call finally came last Friday, he flew to Chicago and left a meeting with the Bears without a contract.Two days later, the Colts were on the phone and Cromartie got to Indy as fast as he could.The time off gave me extra time to train and get myself in shape, he said. So when the call came, I said, `Come on, lets go.Now comes the hard part: getting Cromartie up to speed. Indy doesnt have time to waste.Two-time Pro Bowler Vontae Davis sprained his ankle in practice last week and is now listed as week to week -- terminology that normally means he could be out a month. The Colts other starter, Patrick Robinson, left Saturday nights game early with an injured groin and is considered day to day.Robinsons backup, Jalil Brown, also sat out Saturday with an injured ankle, and another backup, DJoun Smith, was limited to 15 snaps last weekend as he continues recovering from knee surgery.Veteran Darius Butler would likely move into the starting lineup this weekend against Philadelphia if he can overcome a hamstring injury. If not, the Colts have six more cornerbacks who have appeared in a total of two NFL games.Its not pretty, coach Chuck Pagano said before Cromartie signed. Its a little scary right now.The addition of Cromartie might make the depth chart look more palatable. In 10 seasons, he started 133 games, has 364 career tackles and 31 interceptions -- No. 3 among all active players -- including three when Peyton Manning was playing in Indy.Injuries arent just a secondary problem for the Colts, either.Starting defensive end Kendall Langford has not returned after having arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee earlier this month. Defensive tackle Art Jones cant play until October because of a four-game suspension for violating the leagues performance enhancing substances policy.Inside linebacker Sio Moore is out with a hamstring injury and outside linebacker Robert Mathis has not been on the field for either of the Colts first two games after tweaking a knee during training camp.But with Cromartie signed and on the practice field, Pagano sounded a little more relieved.He (Cromartie) had a great workout, Pagano said. He is familiar with the terminology. Hes been in a similar system playing for Rex (Ryan) in New York, basically the same system. He started cramming last night once he got signed and got in the playbook.Game notesIn addition to signing Cromartie, the Colts also signed Justin Berger, an undrafted rookie receiver, and waived receivers Marcus Leak and Andrew Opoku. ... Pagano also said Tuesday that 2013 NFL sacks leader Mathis may not play this weekend or in either of the final two preseason games.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale Patriots Jerseys .

Weve dropped points that we will need to get back.Cavani, who also headed over in the second half from a good position, had a poor game -- summed up when he tumbled theatrically in the penalty area late in the first half. Referee Clement Turpin firmly waved away the penalty claims without hesitation.I didnt touch him, said Portuguese defender Jorge Rolando, who was behind Cavani when he fell.It was another flat and disjointed performance from new coach Unai Emerys side.He was hired in late June after PSG fired coach Laurent Blanc, who clinched a second straight domestic treble.Blanc failed to get PSG beyond the quarterfinals of the Champions League, while Emery guided Sevilla to three straight Europa League titles.On this evidence, PSG has enough to worry about on the domestic scene before thinking about conquering Europe.PSG is third, two points behind Monaco -- the leagues top scorers with 29 goals in 10 games -- and just two points ahead of fourth-placed Toulouse.Emery at least showed he does not favor his main players.He took off Italy midfielder Marco Verratti and Argentina winger Angel Di Maria during the second half.Meanwhile, Marseille picked up an encouraging point in new coach Rudi Garcias first game.Its a good start, Garcia said. We had to show everyone that the players can fight for one another until the end.He was hired Thursday by Marseilles new American owner Frank McCourt, who officially bought the club on Monday and sat next to PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.McCourt used to own the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.---METZ 2, NICE 4Alassane Plea showed once more that he can fill in perfectly well for sttar striker Mario Balotelli, scoring a hat trick as unbeaten French league leader Nice won 4-2 at Metz.dddddddddddd.Nice was missing Balotelli through injury, but Plea scored for the third time this season when leading the attack in his absence.The 23-year-old Frenchman displayed great composure with two one-on-one finishes -- including a key goal in the 84th minute. Nice won for the eighth time in 10 games under Swiss coach Lucien Favre, who joined after six seasons with German club Borussia Moenchengladbach.It was a very tough match for us, Plea said. Our strength is that we never give up and we always look to keep scoring.Midfielder Wylan Cyprien grabbed the fourth goal in injury time. Nice remains four points clear of Monaco.Plea put the visitors ahead in the 14th, latching onto a clever pass behind the defense from Ivory Coast midfielder Jean Michael Seri.It was Pleas second goal of the week, having netted in a 1-0 win away to FC Salzburg in the Europa League on Thursday, and he also grabbed the winner against Nancy last month.Plea has extraordinary potential, Favre said. But it still needs working on.Goalkeeper Yoan Cardinale gifted Metz an equalizer midway through the first half, spilling striker Mevlut Erdincs tame shot into the path of Cameroon midfielder Georges Mandjeck.Plea made it 2-1 from the penalty spot in the 38th but Metz leveled midway through second half through Senegalese striker Habib Diallo -- just 23 seconds after coming off the bench.But Plea made another great run behind the defense to make it 3-2.---CAEN 0, SAINT-ETIENNE 2Forward Henri Saivet and midfielder Jordan Veretout scored their first goals since coming back to France from the Premier League.Saivet joined Newcastle in January on a five-year contract but made only four league appearances last season and was loaned to Saint-Etienne following Newcastles relegation to the second tier.Veretout joined Aston Villa in the summer of 2015 -- also on a five-year deal -- and is on loan following Villas relegation.
