Giants CB Eli Apple facing uncertainty after benching

EAST RUTHERFORD -- Giants cornerback Eli Apple was unhappy with his benching for the first three series of Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Chargers.

Apple isn't feeling any better yet, as he doesn't know if it was a one-time benching or if he has lost his starting job permanently.

"It's uncertain right now," Apple said of his role on Tuesday. "But it's still early in the week, so we got time to find that out."

The unexplained absence of veteran cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie from Wednesday's practice could make the question irrelevant.
