The 49ers placed Johnson (knee) on their practice squad injured reserve Tuesday, per the team's official site.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson suffered an unfortunate ACL tear during Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, and he'll now spend the next several months rehabbing and preparing for the start of the 2023-24 campaign. The 31-year-old cornerback appeared in two games this season for San Fransisco but didn't record any stats.

Johnson suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson suffered the injury on kick coverage to begin the second half. It's a tough blow for Johnson who failed to make the team out of camp while dealing a rib injury, and has spent most of the season on the team's practice squad after appearing in 30 games for the 49ers over the previous two seasons. His 2022 campaign will now end with just two games played and no stats recorded. He'll now focus on getting healthy and returning at some point in 2023.

The 49ers elevated Johnson (rib) from the practice squad Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson had been nursing an injury at the time the 49ers released him at the conclusion of the preseason in late August, but his addition to the team's practice squad shortly thereafter implied that the rib issue wasn't a major concern. Now that he's been elevated to the roster for the first time in 2022, he could get the chance to make his season debut Sunday in Atlanta while the 49ers' cornerback depth has been tested due to the season-ending knee injury Emmanuel Moseley suffered Week 5 against Carolina. The 49ers are also without another key corner in Jason Verrett (knee), who remains on the PUP list and will miss his sixth straight game to begin the season.

The 49ers released Johnson (ribs) on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has been dealing with a rib injury since the 49ers' preseason opener in mid-August. However, he's a candidate to be re-signed Wednesday since Jimmie Ward (hamstring) is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Johnson (rib) left the game in the fourth quarter of the 49ers' 28-21 win over the Packers on Friday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
An already depleted San Francisco secondary took another blow when Johnson was hurt late in the contest. Emmanuel Moseley (hamstring), Charvarius Ward (groin) and Jason Verrett (knee) also missed the contest, leaving Ambry Thomas and Deommodore Lenoir as the top options at cornerback until the aforementioned four options recover from injury.

Johnson signed a one-year contract with San Francisco on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson appeared in 16 games for the 49ers last year and logged 30 tackles (20 solo), two pass defenses, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. He should compete for playing time once again prior to the 2022 campaign.

Johnson was activated off of the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old was placed on the COVID list Monday, clearing protocols just in time to be active Sunday against the Rams. With fellow cornerback Emmanuel Moseley returning from injured reserve Saturday as well, Johnson's availability allows the 49ers to head into their crucial matchup in Week 18 with added depth in the secondary.
