Nick Sirianni Confirms Stance on C.J. Gardner-Johnson Reunion as Safety Addresses Texans Release

Nick Sirianni shut down any hopes of reuniting with C.J. Gardner-Johnson. When asked about bringing the safety back, Sirianni praised the current group instead. “I’m really excited about the room that we have. I think they’ve done a really nice job to date. Got a good young player in Andrew Makuba who’s continues to get better. And I think that having Reed next to him is helping him get better. And just as how Reed got better having Marcus Epson in the building,” Sirianni said. 

“And Reed said that I’ve said that here before about Marcus Epson. So, I’m just really excited about that room. Sidney’s doing a really good job, you know, doing a good job on special teams and doing some work on defense as well. So, I’m really excited about that group and pleased with that group,” the head coach added. He made it clear that the door is closed on Gardner-Johnson’s return.
