The Baltimore Ravens have released veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson one week after signing him to their practice squad, citing an amicable mutual decision. The move follows the team’s acquisition of safety Alohi Gilman from the Chargers, who started and recorded seven tackles in the Ravens’ 17-3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Gardner-Johnson, 27, was released by the Houston Texans after three games amid reports of locker room issues and a trade request. He previously played for the Eagles, Lions, and Saints, accumulating 18 interceptions, 51 pass breakups, and 319 tackles in 77 regular-season games, along with playoff experience including a Super Bowl win. He remains a free agent.
