In his return to New Orleans, C.J. Gardner-Johnson is active.
Gardner-Johnson was ruled questionable on the final injury report due to a foot injury, missing the Eagles’ Thursday and Friday practices.
Gardner-Johnson is playing against the Saints for the first time since they traded him to Philadelphia in 2022.
“Truthfully, honestly? I’m already hated, so I’ve got nothing to say,” Gardner-Johnson said earlier this week on returning to New Orleans. “Truthfully, what do I have to say? They got rid of me, I didn’t get rid of them. So hey, we’ll see y’all Sunday.”
If he is unable to make it through the game, Avonte Maddox could play safety next to Reed Blankenship. Cooper DeJean might get some time at Nickel if that occurs.
