While some fans were genuinely concerned for the safety, others hoped that this incident would not impact his future with the Eagles. As of now, there has been no report indicating whether the safety was able to recover his car. But it seems like Gardner-Johnson and the Eagles will have to push aside all worries and focus on what’s to come. Philadelphia will go head-to-head against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been looking sharp lately, especially with the talented Brock Purdy at the helm. Fans will eagerly anticipate this NFC Championship game face-off. The Eagles’ safety, on the other hand, may have to find someone who can give him a ride to the stadium.
