#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.

The Eagles could be without safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson for a few weeks after a test revealed that he suffered a lacerated kidney in the Sunday night win over the Packers.
Former Eagles star tight end Zach Ertz suffered a similar injury late in the 2019 season during a win over the Cowboys and was expected to miss the playoffs.
Ertz missed the season finale but was back in time for the Wild Card round.
The NFL’s interception leader with six, Gardner-Johnson has been a stabilizing force at safety, and it’ll be a prime opportunity to see what rookie Reed Blankenship can do when pressed into extended action.
On Sunday night, Blankenship led the Eagles in tackles, while posting his first career interception off Packers legend, Aaron Rodgers.
