Rodgers-Cromartie reinstates from retirement

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was reinstated from the retirement list and the defensive back wants to play again this season, NFL Network reported Thursday. Rodgers-Cromartie abruptly retired in October after playing seven games with the Oakland Raiders. The 10 1/2-year veteran, who turns 33 in April, had eight tackles and a forced fumble before calling it quits, an announcement he made on Instagram.

Rodgers-Cromartie was drafted No. 16 overall by the Arizona Cardinals in 2008. The two-time Pro Bowler played in Super Bowls with the Cardinals and Denver Broncos. The Cardinals traded Rodgers-Cromartie to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. He signed with the Broncos before the start of the 2013 season and signed a five-year deal with the New York Giants prior to the 2014 season.

The Tennessee State product has 30 career interceptions and six touchdowns. He did not have an interception in either of the past two seasons but did tie his career high of six interceptions in 2016 with the Giants.
