Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is optimistic that defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson could return before the end of the season after suffering a torn pectoral. Losing Gardner-Johnson is a blow to the secondary, as he has been productive and brings infectious energy to the team. Tracy Walker III will take on a heavier workload in Gardner-Johnson's absence. The Lions have also been dealing with injuries to receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and edge rusher James Houston.
