"Return of C.J. Gardner-Johnson creates safety logjam for Detroit Lions"
The return of C.J. Gardner-Johnson from injury has created a logjam at the safety position for the Detroit Lions. Ifeatu Melifonwu, who has been plagued by injuries in the past, has played well in recent weeks and earned a spot in the playing rotation. The defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn, emphasized that the best player will get the playing time, leaving Melifonwu's immediate future uncertain. Gardner-Johnson, a key offseason acquisition, had a strong start to the season before his injury. The Lions hope to find packages for all three safeties to contribute once everyone is healthy.
