The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions face off in just 10 days. On September 28th the Lions will travel to Lambeau Field for a Thursday Night show down. It will be the first time the two teams face off since the Lions ended the Packers’ playoff chances at the end of the 2022-23 season.
However, it would appear that the Lions may be without one of their star defensive players for the rest of the season. Defensive Back CJ Gardner-Johnson is at risk of missing the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
Green Bay Packers Rival The Detroit Lions Are Feared To Lose DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson For The Rest Of The 2023 Season
It has been reported that C.J. Gardner-Johnson may have suffered a torn pec muscle against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
A one-year contract with Detroit reunited the talented safety with defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. This came after not being able to secure a long-term deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Having him miss the whole season would be a major blow to the Lions’ defense. Gardner-Johnson was tied for the interception leader last season thanks to his ability to make plays and secure interceptions.
Lions safety Tracy Walker will likely have to step up for the remainder of the season if the news is true. After being re-signed by the Lions last offseason to lead the secondary, Walker suffered a devastating Achilles injury in Week 3 and lost his 2022 season.
Walker then dedicated himself to rehab in time for training camp, only to see his starting role taken by Gardner-Johnson when the Lions moved rookie Brian Branch to nickel cornerback.
