Daily News | Eagles’ safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has a lacerated kidney, but could still return this season, per report
Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered a lacerated kidney that will sideline him indefinitely, according to a league source who confirmed an NFL Network report.
The report suggested the injury is not expected to be season-ending and should not require surgery. Gardner-Johnson suffered the injury during the Eagles’ win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, colliding with fellow safety Marcus Epps and collapsing to the ground shortly thereafter. Gardner-Johnson was carted off after struggling to walk on his own power, clearly in a significant amount of pain.
The Eagles traded for Gardner-Johnson, 24, just before the start of the regular season and have gotten elite play from the former New Orleans Saints defensive back. His six interceptions lead the NFL and he has logged eight pass breakups as well.
