Two prominent Detroit Lions players suffered injuries during Monday’s training camp practice, but it appears both escaped significant damage. Defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson and wide receiver Jameson Williams went down during team periods, but both are expected to be back in a short period of time, according to coach Dan Campbell.
Of the two, Gardner-Johnson’s injury appeared to be significantly more serious. He went down clutching his knee and was carted off without putting any pressure on that leg. But news quickly broke that he escaped major injury, with ESPN reporting that an MRI revealed no structural damage to his leg.
