C.J. Gardner-Johnson Suffers Scary Injury at Texans Practice
So, something pretty concerning happened at Texans training camp this week—safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was carted off the field after what looked like a serious leg injury. This all unfolded during practice at the Greenbrier facility in West Virginia, where the team has been holding their training sessions.
According to reports from people on-site, Gardner-Johnson went down while defending wide receiver John Metchie during a drill. It wasn’t one of those cases where a player just gets up slowly—he stayed down and was clearly in pain. Trainers rushed over quickly to assess the situation, and before long, teammates had gathered around him, many taking a knee. That’s usually a pretty strong sign that something serious has gone down.

Eventually, a cart had to be brought out to take him off the field. And one of the most concerning things was that he apparently couldn’t put any weight on the injured leg as he was helped off. That’s never what you want to see—especially not from someone who was expected to play a key role in the defense this season.
Gardner-Johnson was brought in this offseason in a trade from the Eagles, and he was lined up to be a starter in the Texans' secondary. So, needless to say, this injury could be a big blow—not just for the team’s defense, but for the momentum he was starting to build with his new squad.
Now, we don’t have all the details yet. No official diagnosis has been released at the time of this recording, and the team hasn’t confirmed the extent of the injury. But from the way things looked on the field, it didn’t appear minor.
For Texans fans and the coaching staff, this is definitely a hold-your-breath moment. Everyone will be hoping the injury isn't as bad as it seemed in the moment. Gardner-Johnson is a playmaker, and his presence on the field is a huge part of what Houston’s defense was planning to lean on this season.
Let’s just hope the news from the medical team comes back better than expected—because losing a guy like him this early would be a tough pill to swallow for the Texans.
