Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson left Sunday night’s win with an injury and he’s on track to miss more time.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Gardner-Johnson has been diagnosed with a lacerated kidney. The injury is not expected to end his season and Gardner-Johnson will not require surgery, but he is out indefinitely while undergoing further testing that will give a better idea of his timeline to return.
Gardner-Johnson joined the Eagles in a trade with the Saints in late August. He has 60 tackles, six interceptions, and a sack while starting every game this season.
Reed Blankenship stepped into the lineup after Gardner-Johnson left against the Packers. K'Von Wallace and Andre Chachere are also on the depth chart at safety.
