  • Quality rookie campaign

    Gardner-Johnson ended his rookie season with 49 tackles (38 solo), one interception and a forced fumble in 2019.

    Analysis: The fourth-rounder out of Florida played a key role in New Orleans' defense in his rookie season, starting seven contests and forcing two turnovers. He was in the starting lineup for the final three games of the regular season and played just over 80 percent of defensive snaps in that stretch, finishing the 2019 campaign on a high note. He'll look to take the next step forward in 2020 when he returns for his second season with the Saints.

  • Eight tackles and fumble recovery

    Gardner-Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a tackle for a loss in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gardner-Johnson produced a solid performance Sunday after clearing the concussion protocol earlier in the week and earning the starting nod against Tennessee. He recorded eight tackles for the second week in a row while adding a fumble recovery. He'll look to build on his late-season momentum in Week 17 against Carolina.

  • Preparing to start

    Gardner-Johnson (concussion) is lining up as a starter for the team's Week 16 contest against the Titans, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.

    Analysis: Gardner-Johnson has played an inconsistent role for the team throughout the season. However, he cleared concussion protocol in time for the team's Week 16 contest and should be in line for an increased role with Vonn Bell (knee) inactive.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Gardner-Johnson (concussion) is active Week 16 against the Titans, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Gardner-Johnson saw his highest defensive snap count in the last three games Week 15 against Indianapolis, but emerged from the contest with a concussion. He's since cleared protocol and even logged a full practice session, paving the way for a Week 16 return.

  • Logs full practice Friday

    Gardner-Johnson (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gardner-Johnson upped his practice participation each day since sitting out Wednesday. If active, he'll likely get the start with Vonn Bell out due to a knee injury.

  • Limited Thursday

    Gardner-Johnson (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gardner-Johnson is making progress through the league's five-step protocol for head injuries after being sidelined to begin the week. The rookie fourth-round pick will need to fully clear the concussion protocol before retaking the field. With Vonn Bell (knee) also nursing an injury, D.J. Swearinger could be in line to play an expanded role on defense against the Titans on Sunday.

  • Suffers concussion

    Gardner-Johnson suffered a concussion and has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest, Amie Just of The Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: The rookie will have to pass concussion protocol testing before he can return to the field in a future contest. The safety recorded eight tackles (six solo) before exiting the contest. If Gardner-Johnson should miss multiple games, the Saints can take solace in the fact they signed veteran Janoris Jenkins earlier in the day.
