Buffalo Bills veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is nursing a lower right calf injury, one day after being carted off the practice field, according to ESPN.
Gardner-Johnson sustained the injury in a non-contact situation after defending against a run play during 11-on-11 team drills.
At least one teammate said he wasn’t worried. “I walked up to him, and I told him, ‘You all right? Take care of yourself. Can you walk?'” left tackle Dion Dawkins said after practice.
Gardner-Johnson, 28, won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2024 season before he was traded to the Houston Texans on March 11, 2025.
Gardner-Johnson has 20 interceptions, 370 tackles and seven sacks in 87 career games (71 starts) with the New Orleans Saints (2019-21), Eagles (2022, 2024), Detroit Lions (2023), Texans and Bears.
