A league source confirmed that Eagles safety C.J.Gardner-Johnson will be out for an extended period of time.

As they work to establish a timetable for his return, a decision on whether to place him on injured reserve hasn't been made.

Early in the first quarter of the Eagles' Sunday night game against the Packers, a collision occurred in the middle of the field that resulted in an injury toGardner- Johnson. As he left the field, he was doubled over in pain and was carted inside.

In the second quarter of the Eagles' 40-33 victory over the Packers, Reed Blankenship picked off Rodgers in the red zone.

The first report on the injury was from the football network.

After a strong summer, Blankenship was given a spot on the team. The loss of Gardner- Johnson is a big deal for the Eagles. He is one of the top players on an Eagles defense that leads the league in turnover margin with 23.

The Eagles received a seventh-round draft pick, a fifth-round draft pick, and a sixth-round draft pick from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for running back Broderick Johnson.

Safety was considered to be the most questionable position prior to that acquisition.

After arriving in Philadelphia, he transitioned from slot corner to safety. He has played defense for the Saints and Eagles over the past three years.
