C.J. Gardner-Johnson did NOT tear his ACL via @jonmalexander.
He is still undergoing testing and will miss time however.
The Texans current options to replace Gardner-Johnson this year:
Jimmie Ward
Jaylen Reed
Russ Yeast
M.J. Stewart
Yeast & Reed (before injury) were having very strong camps for themselves and are names to watch here.
Texans S C.J. Gardner-Johnson tore his ACL today in practice and will miss the 2025 season according to @AaronWilson_NFL
Tough break for one of the Texans bigger offseason moves.
Texans GM Nick Caserio on the CJGJ Injury via The A-Team on 790:
“With Ceedy, we’re still working through that a bit. When something like that happens in practice, everybody assumes the worst… Whatever the situation is, we’ll deal with it accordingly.”

Have to give credit to EA for this one because this is pretty awesome.

C.J. Stroud in today’s scrimmage (stats via @samwarren_3’s updates)
- 11-22 (50%)
- 2 TDs - 0 INTs (including a Nico Collins dropped TD)
- Good Gains to Hutchinson/Brevin/Watson/Kirk
- Big gain on a scramble
Nice day for the 1st team offense against a top defense in their first somewhat game action under Nick Caley.
Last offensive series for the Texans scrimmage ended with a Stroud-Nico TD:
The Texans have a good safety room even without CJGJ and I expect Jalen Mills who recently worked out for Houston is a guy they consider adding if the injury is bad.
Don't know what to make of Jimmie Ward currently but he is a very solid player when healthy who can provide a little of everything and the Texans like Jaylen Reed/M.J. Stewart as well.
The secondary probably isn't number 1 anymore with that hit but it is still absolutely a top 3 one in the league
