ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- After losing two of their last three games, the Detroit Lions could receive a boost in the secondary as defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson has been medically cleared, according to head coach Dan Campbell.

The 21-day practice window could start as soon as next week for Gardner-Johnson, who hasn't suited up since Week 2 after suffering a torn pectoral during the 37-31 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks and was placed on the injured reserve list.

Campbell called it "great news" as Gardner-Johnson also hinted toward his return with a social media post on Wednesday referencing "The Simpsons" sitcom.
