After sustaining a foot injury in the New Orleans Saints’ loss to the division rival Atlanta Falcons, defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson will be out at least three games after being placed on injured reserve.
Gardner-Johnson was carted off in the second quarter following a tackle on Atlanta’s Russell Gage with an apparent right foot injury. Days later, he posted photos showing love to the New Orleans Pelicans while a walking boot was visible on the same foot.
In his stead, P.J. Williams served as the primary slot corner, rotation with recent addition Bradley Roby.
