C.J. Gardner-Johnson has been sidelined since his Week 2 pectoral tear, but the Detroit Lions defensive back has been supporting his team from afar. That is most evident from this video taken from his Instagram while he was watching the end of Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Gardner-Johnson—who is quite the entertaining follow on Twitter during games—went live just as the LIons were mounting their 12-point comeback against the Bears.
Lions Twitter account @FueledByMotown caught the deciding moment of the game, when Aidan Hutchinson sacked Justin Fields, causing the Bears quarterback to fumble out of the endzone for a safety. Gardner-Johnson went absolutely nuts during the game-sealing play.

I love the fact he’s chirping to his television
I know we got contracts to shell out, but I’d love it if we could find room to extend CJ.. He’s everything the Lions are about #Lions #OnePride | @CGJXXIII pic.twitter.com/pXABcS5LmI
If the screaming and dancing isn’t awesome enough, check out what he says near the end of the video.
“And I’ll be back,” Gardner-Johnson says. “Y’all got two weeks to get y’all shit together. Three weeks to get y’all’s shit together.”
It certainly seems like Gardner-Johnson thinks he’s on his way to returning to the lineup in the near future, and videos of his rehab certainly suggest he’s made some serious progress.
