C.J. Gardner-Johnson received some excellent news on Monday, avoiding a disaster after leaving practice with a non-contact knee injury.
The MRI on Lions S C.J. Gardner-Johnson revealed no structural damage to his knee and he is considered day-to-day at this time, I’m told.
Great news for a huge part of Detroit’s reshaped secondary after Gardner-Johnson left practice earlier today.

Gardner-Johnson was carted off the field after taking a fall during team drills in Monday’s practice.
Gardner-Johnson signed a one-year, $8 million deal with Detroit in free agency after disagreeing with the Eagles on the structure of a long-term contract.
He’ll likely be managed for the remainder of the preseason as the Lions look to win the NFC North for the first time since 1993.
