C.J. Gardner-Johnson News
The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms on a deal with safety/defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday. The 26-year-old is headed back to Philly on a three-year, $33 million deal. Gardner-Johnson spent the 2022 season in Philly where he flourished as a free safety. That season, Gardner-Johnson finished with 67 tackles, eight passes defended, and a league-leading eight interceptions in 12 games. After that, Gardner-Johnson headed to Detroit but only ended up playing in three games with the Lions last season. The move back to Philly appears to be a great decision for both sides.
Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pectoral) will make his return to the field ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. A welcoming sight considering Gardner-Johnson has been out since tearing his pectoral muscle in Week 2. The Lions were hopeful for big things from Gardner-Johnson after signing him to a big deal this offseason. The good news is that he'll be back in time for the postseason. His return will give the Lions secondary a significant boost heading into the regular season finale.
Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pectoral) and linebacker James Houston (ankle) have been ruled out for the Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night. Cornerback Cameron Sutton (toe) is also questionable. Gardner-Johnson was limited in practice all week but still isn't quite ready to return and will miss his 14th straight game of the year after getting hurt early in 2023. At this point, the Lions are just hoping that the 26-year-old will be able to help them in the playoffs. Houston returned to practice on Thursday for the first time since fracturing his ankle in Week 2, so he's understandably not ready to return to game action just yet. It's probably a stretch to expect him to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Minnesota Vikings as well.
