Johnson (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Johnson sustained the injury on kick coverage to begin the second half of Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers. The torn ACL is a tough blow for Johnson, who failed to make the team out of camp while dealing a rib injury before spending most of the 2022 season on the 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 during the 2023 campaign.

Johnson didn't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Johnson was shaken up on kick coverage to begin the third quarter, and he was unable to return during the second half. Whether he'll be available Thursday against Seattle remains to be seen.

The 49ers elevated Johnson (rib) from the practice squad Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. 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. 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 was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, as a result of testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Johnson has mostly contributed on special teams this season, a role he'll look to return to in Week 18 against the Rams. That is, if he can clear COVID protocols in time.
