Ranking the Lions’ top free agents: Will Jonah Jackson, C.J. Gardner-Johnson return?

For the first time under this administration, the Detroit Lions are expected to contend for the Super Bowl the following season.

They must first decide which of their important things they wish to have returned. They have a few free agents that could draw interest from rival teams. The 2024 season may be directly impacted by whoever they choose to give priority to and who they let depart. In light of this, let’s examine a few of their best internal free agents and how the upcoming season may use them.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson of the Lions has received medical clearance to return from a potentially season-ending injury: “Mutant genes”
Against the Seahawks in Week 2, Gardner-Johnson tore a pectoral muscle.

Gardner-Johnson did, however, appear to be making a comeback, sharing on social media on Wednesday a scene from “The Simpsons” in which a medical professional applies defibrillation paddles and exclaims, “Clear!”

He belongs to the X-Men. According to ESPN, Campbell stated, “He has these mutant genes because he has recovered incredibly quickly and has regained his strength.” “It’s safe. He will thus be prepared to be here quite shortly.”

The Lions need assistance on defense after dropping two of their last three contests. They have conceded 25 points or more in five straight games, which is the NFL’s longest current skid.

The Lions had an incredible start to the season, which started with an unexpected victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, thanks in large part to Gardner-Johnson. Through the first two games of the year, which he started both, he racked up 13 total tackles with two passes defended.

Like he did on a star-studded Philadelphia Eagles defense in 2022 when he led them to a Super Bowl appearance, he is a leader both on and off the field, galvanizing his defensive brothers to support him.

The Lions are hoping Gardner-Johnson can be ready soon since they know the effect he can make on their squad, according to Campbell.

“It’s encouraging news, and we’ll make sure to get him moving as soon as possible to start training and get his legs back under.

Gardner-Johnson is in his fifth NFL season, his first with the 9-4 Lions after just one year in Philly. His played his first three seasons with the New Orleans Saints, the team that drafted him in the fourth round in 2019.
