Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson had to be carted off the field during Monday’s training camp practice after suffering what appeared to be a knee injury to his right knee.
On the play, Gardner-Johnson was playing close to the line and was being blocked on a running play before he collapsed to the ground and started tapping his own right leg. He stayed on the ground for several minutes before he was carted off. He did not take a single step on his injured leg.
Gardner-Johnson was one of Detroit’s biggest free agent signings this offseason.
