Eagles’ C.J. Gardner-Johnson leaves Packers game in 1st quarter

Eagles starting safety and NFL interceptions leader C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered a ribs injury in the first quarter and needed to be carted inside.

Gardner-Johnson is officially listed as questionable to return.

Gardner-Johnson, 24, delivered a big hit on Packers receiver Christian Watson on the tail end of a 3rd-down conversion but it was Gardner-Johnson who took the brunt of it.

After the collision, Gardner-Johnson was in a ton of pain as trainers checked him out on the field. He was out there long enough that head coach Nick Sirianni came out to check on him.
