Injuries will be the Eagles’ biggest obstacle to the Super Bowl

The Eagles have seen their greatest enemy, and it is the blue medical tent.

Another critical performer is lost for multiple games after starting safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s went down during Sunday night’s 40-33 win over the Green Bay Packers.

#Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is out indefinitely after suffering a lacerated kidney in Sunday night’s win over the #Packers, per sources.

It’s a non-surgical injury. Testing is ongoing, so timetable still TBD, but it is not expected to be season-ending.— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) November 29, 2022
