At the beginning of August, there was concern that new Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson tore his ACL and could potentially miss the entire 2025 season. Luckily for Houston fans and the safety, the ligament was still intact, and he was expected to make a full recovery. However, there wasn't an exact timeline for when fans could see Gardner-Johnson make his Texans debut.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans provided an update on Monday by sharing that the team fully expects Gardner-Johnson to compete on Sunday vs. the Rams in the season opener. Ryans noted that the safety is "doing really well" and "progressing fine."
