Gardner-Johnson entered practice in Week 2 after returning from a chest injury suffered in Week 2. To activate this, the Lions would have to part ways with a player currently on the active roster.”No, look, it’s better than last week,” Campbell said.
“He looked really good and this is another opportunity to push him forward. Brad and I will talk about it today after work. He is scheduled to practice there (Thursday). “Ifeatu Melifonwu is currently playing at a high level at the safety position, which adds further difficulty in determining his secondary role when Gardner-Johnson returns to the fold.From Campbell’s perspective, these solutions are a good problem.
Kerby Joseph also contributes at safety, so the Lions will have plenty of options once Gardner-Johnson returns to action.”good. Look, this is it: If he’s going to play really good football, Kerby’s going to play well,” Campbell explained. “But everybody’s just guessing. Is it Iffy or is it C.J.? But why? Why do you think this is? So when he comes back, we have a choice. We have some really good options.
We have football players and game players so it’s a big deal.” Campbell said Taylor Decker could join the offense on Saturday. The offensive tackle did not participate in practice Wednesday and was placed on the injured list. Report a groin injury.
