A week ago, it seemed impossible Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie would play Monday night against the Colts. But with each passing day, there seems to be more optimism.

Cromartie was listed as questionable on the team’s official injury report Saturday. He was limited in practice for the second straight day.

Coach Todd Bowles did not have media availability, so it’s hard to gauge what that exactly means. But it feels a long way from when Cromartie was punching the turf last week with what appeared to be a serious knee injury. Instead, it was just a sprain and Cromartie was deemed “week-to-week” by the doctors.

Running back Chris Ivory also is listed as questionable with a groin injury he suffered in practice this week, but Bowles said Friday that Ivory would play.

For the Colts, it looks like wide receiver T.Y. Hilton will play. Hilton suffered a knee bruise last week against the Bills. He practiced for the first time Saturday, and reports out of Indianapolis made it sound like he will play, though he is listed as questionable.

“He looked good, moved around well,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said, according to ESPN. “He’s going to get better and better.”

Hilton sounded optimistic.

“Feels good and it depends on how my knee reacts [Sunday],” Hilton said, according to ESPN. “I did some good work [Saturday] and the training staff did a great job on me this week pushing me and making sure I’m on point.”

Colts linebacker Robert Mathis also was listed as questionable. He has not played a game since 2013. He suffered a torn Achilles tendon last year.

Jets linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin (concussion) was ruled out and cornerback Darrin Walls (hamstring) is doubtful.
