Texans Release Veteran Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson Amidst Internal Issues
The Houston Texans have decided to part ways with veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Gardner-Johnson, who was acquired by the Texans in a trade earlier this year, started in the team's first three games and played a significant role on defense, recording 15 tackles. However, reports suggest that there were internal issues between Gardner-Johnson and the team, leading to his release.
Following Gardner-Johnson's departure, M.J. Stewart is expected to step into the vacant position at safety for the Texans. The decision to release Gardner-Johnson comes amidst a series of roster moves by the team, including the waiving of offensive lineman Kenyon Green, who was part of the trade that brought Gardner-Johnson to Houston.
With a 0-3 record so far this season, the Texans are looking to turn things around as they prepare to face the Tennessee Titans, who also have yet to secure a win this season. The team will be aiming to secure their first victory of the season in the upcoming game.
