C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffers non-contact injury at Bills practice

C.J. Gardner-Johnson, a former defensive back for the Chicago Bears, was injured during Buffalo Bills training camp practice on August 1, 2026. The injury occurred without contact, as Gardner-Johnson reportedly clutched his leg near the Achilles and could not bear weight on his right leg while being assisted off the field. He had been a standout performer at camp since signing a one-year, $6 million deal with the Bills this offseason after previously playing for the Bears. Detailed updates on his condition are expected as the team evaluates the injury.
