<p>The Bills released former <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears" target="_blank" >Bears </a>cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday after he served a one-game suspension for spitting toward Raiders tight end Brock Bowers.</p><p>Before then, Gardner-Johnson had started all six games for the Bills.</p><p>The Bears signed him last year with their defensive backfield depleted by injuries to Kyler Gordon, Jaylon Johnson and others. They chose not to re-sign him this offseason. While this year’s team has witnessed injuries to safety Coby Bryant and cornerback Malik Muhammad — the former is out until at least December and the latter missed Monday’s game — the Bears aren’t squeezed for depth quite as much as last year.
