Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson was carted off the field during Monday’s practice after a non-contact knee injury on his right leg, as Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reported.
The offseason addition for the Lions was reportedly visibly upset after the injury, and captains Jared Goff and Isaiah Buggs went on the field to comfort him, Tim Twentyman reported.
After practice, ESPN’s Field Yates reported that Gardner-Johnson suffered no structural damage to his knee. The defensive back is now considered day-to-day.
