Don't worry Detroit Lions fans. We've got more good news for you today. It turns out C.J. Gardner-Johnson is going to be just fine after going down with an injury and being carted off the field Monday morning. 

There's was speculation early that it might be a non-contact injury. Then that changed later when video showed that there was contact. Maybe Gardner-Johnson just banged his knee with whoever he was covering. Either way, he appears to be fine and will be day to day on his return to practice. 

I'm sure Lions fans were on the edge there for a while. There's the old adage that "we just can't have nice things." It felt like this was just another nice thing that Lions fans couldn't have. As for now, he's going to be fine and the Lions biggest free agent pick up will more than likely be hitting the field again before you know. This is quite the dodged bullet.
