Gardner-Johnson is feared to have suffered a torn pectoral in Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Gardner-Johnson exited the Lions' Week 2 contest a little worse for wear and could be looking at a season-ending injury. More information on his status will likely be provided in the coming days, but in the meantime, Ifeatu Melifonwu or Tracy Walker could ascend into a starting role at safety alongside Kerby Joseph.
