Bills Safety Injury: CJ Gardner-Johnson Hurt
1 Aug
Summary
- CJ Gardner-Johnson sustained an injury during practice.
- His injury could significantly impact the Bills' defense.
- Geno Stone and Jalon Kilgore are potential replacements.
The Buffalo Bills experienced their first significant training camp injury as presumptive starting safety CJ Gardner-Johnson went down during team drills. Trainers attended to him after he appeared to roll his ankle or foot during the 11-on-11 session. He was then taken to the locker room for further evaluation.
The potential loss of Gardner-Johnson, signed to provide ball-hawking skills and defensive versatility, would be a considerable setback for the Bills' defense. Veteran free agent signee Geno Stone stepped in with the starting unit alongside Cole Bishop.
Rookie safety Jalon Kilgore is also in contention for a role. If Gardner-Johnson faces a prolonged absence, Kilgore could emerge as a strong candidate for a starting position.
