Gardner-Johnson recorded six tackles (three solo) and an interception during Sunday's 22-16 win versus the Panthers. Gardner-Johnson settled under an overthrown deep ball intended for Adam Thielen late in the second quarter, tallying his third pick of the year and setting up a go-ahead Philadelphia touchdown before the end of the first half.

Gardner-Johnson (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. Gardner-Johnson was evaluated for a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game, but he was cleared to return to the contest.
Gardner-Johnson (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers. Gardner-Johnson was on the receiving end of a hit from teammate Tristin McCollum in the first quarter of Sunday's game. With Reed Blankenship (concussion) and Sydney Brown (knee) inactive, Avonte Maddox will step in at strong safety for as long as Gardner-Johnson is sidelined.
Gardner-Johnson recorded seven total tackles (two solo) and one interception in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys. The Florida product was the Eagles' second-leading tackler in Sunday's blowout win, trailing just Zack Baun's eight-stop performance. Gardner-Johnson also picked off Cooper Rush in the fourth quarter, his second interception in the Eagles' last three games. The 26-year-old now ranks in the top three on Philadelphia's defense in both interceptions and passes defended, and he's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing wide receivers as the season progresses.
Gardner-Johnson (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints. Gardner-Johnson will suit up for Sunday's game despite not practicing Thursday and Friday. He'll serve as the Eagles' starting strong safety alongside Reed Blankenship, with Tristin McCollum providing depth at that position.
Gardner-Johnson (foot) remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but there is optimism he'll be active, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Gardner-Johnson logged a DNP on Thursday and Friday, which isn't typically a good sign for a player's chances to play Sunday. However, he'll test his foot during pre-game warmups where a final decision about his status for Week 3 will be made. Further clarity will come about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. kickoff when the Eagles release their inactive list.
Gardner-Johnson (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. Gardner-Johnson was a mid-week addition to the injury report, missing practice Thursday and Friday, so it's an ominous sign for his Sunday return to New Orleans. CJGJ has 11 tackles (five solo) through two games. Tristin McCollum would be in line for an expanded role should Gardner-Johnson be unable to play.
Gardner-Johnson (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice. Gardner-Johnson wasn't listed on the Eagles' estimated injury report Wednesday, but he was held out of Thursday's practice due to a foot issue. His practice participation Friday will provide some clarity on his status for Week 3 against the Saints. Gardner-Johnson has recorded 11 tackles (five solo) through the first two games of the regular season.
Gardner-Johnson (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Sunday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Gardner-Johnson had already made his way back onto the practice field Saturday, but participation in team drills signals he's back to full strength. Come Week 1 against the Packers, he projects to start at safety next to Reed Blankenship.
