Bills Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson Diagnosed with Lower Calf Strain
Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered a lower calf strain during Saturday's practice and was carted off, but tests confirmed it is not a more serious Achilles or season-ending injury.
What happened
C.J. Gardner-Johnson went down in a non-contact situation during 11-on-11 drills on Saturday and was carted to the locker room. Subsequent testing revealed a lower right calf strain. Head coach Joe Brady and teammates indicated the news was encouraging relative to initial fears, though no firm return timeline has been announced.
Fantasy impact
Gardner-Johnson is primarily an IDP asset. The calf strain should cost him practice time and potentially early preseason games, opening temporary opportunities for Damar Hamlin and other safeties. Standard-league fantasy managers can largely ignore the development.
