US EditionTexans Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson Suffers Leg Injury at Practice
GREENBRIER RESORT, WEST VIRGINIA, AUG 7 – Gardner-Johnson, who had six interceptions last season, suffered a serious right leg injury during a scrimmage and may miss the entire 2025 season, impacting Texans' defensive depth.
- On Thursday, safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered an apparent lower leg injury and was carted off during the Texans’ final training camp practice in West Virginia.
- On March 11, Gardner-Johnson was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles after winning the Super Bowl earlier this year, with the Texans trading left guard Kenyon Green.
- Making contact with wide receiver John Metchie III, Gardner-Johnson went down writhing in pain, unable to bear weight before being loaded onto a cart at the Greenbrier Resort.
- With Gardner-Johnson sidelined, the Texans may pivot to M.J. Stewart, Russ Yeast, or Jalen Pitre at safety, as coach DeMeco Ryans described the scene as heartbreaking and said he's always nervous when players hit the ground.
- Gardner-Johnson’s departure strips the Texans of a six-interception playmaker and dims AFC playoff hopes, clouding a secondary that ranked sixth in passing defense last season.
