CJ Gardner-Johnson injury update: Buffalo Bills safety carted off with right leg issue at 2026 training camp

CJ Gardner-Johnson, safety for the Buffalo Bills, suffered a right leg injury during team drills at the 2026 training camp in Pittsford, New York.

The injury occurred on Day 3 of practice, and Gardner-Johnson was carted off and taken to the locker room; no official diagnosis has been released.

Geno Stone, a veteran free agent acquisition, replaced Gardner-Johnson on the field.

The Bills had invested in their secondary during the offseason, and Gardner-Johnson was expected to compete for a starting role or heavy rotational snaps.

The team will likely adjust depth charts and give other safeties extra reps while Gardner-Johnson is evaluated.
