After suffering a torn pectoral muscle back in Week 2, C.J. Gardner-Johnson is finally making his return to the Detroit Lions in Week 18 against the Minnesota Vikings, albeit in a limited role. Based on CJGJ’s comments, it seems like he might have even been ready to return sooner, but the team wants to take things slowly, perhaps to have him fresh for the playoffs.
Today’s Question of the Day is…
Are the Lions being too cautious with CJGJ?
My answer: I’m completely fine with it either way, but I am leaning towards believing it might be smarter to play him the full game to give him as many reps as possible with his teammates.
