After being defeated in 2 of their last 3 matches, the Detroit Lions could receive a boost in the secondary as DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson<\/a> has been medically cleared.<\/p>\n

The 3-week training window could start as soon as next week for the player, who was sidelined since Week 2 after C.J. sustained a torn pectoral during the 37-31 OT defeat against the Seattle Seahawks and was put on the IR.<\/p>\n

Campbell labeled it as fantastic news as the defensive end also talked about his return yesterday on social media.<\/p>\n

Lions without a doubt needs help on defense after allowing 25 or more points in 5 consecutive matches, which is the longest active streak in the league. In C.J.\u2019s 2 matches this campaign, he began from the 1st<\/sup> minute on the field, registering 13 total tackles with 2 passes defended.<\/p>\n

Gardner-Johnson inked with Detroit in the offseason.<\/p>\n
