Kerryon Johnson: Back on practice squad
Kerryon Johnson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.With the 49ers backfield depleted by injuries, Johnson was called up to the active roster but didn't make an impact on offense this past Sunday against the Packers, seeing only nine snaps on special teams. Trenton Cannon also was used exclusively on special teams (17 snaps), while Trey Sermon (41 snaps on offense) and Kyle Juszczyk (52 snaps) were the other backs to see action. There's hope Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) is able to return next Sunday versus the Seahawks, which would likely mean no elevation for Johnson in Week 4.

49ers' Kerryon Johnson: Only used on special teams
Kerryon Johnson only logged nine special-teams snaps in Sunday's 30-28 loss to Green Bay.Johnson was promoted from the practice squad prior to Sunday's contest due to the absences of Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle). The veteran back was not used on offense despite the lack of active bodies, as starter Trey Sermon was the only running back to see any carries. Head coach Kyle Shanahan clearly did not want to rely on newcomers to his offensive system in an important game, opting to use fullback Kyle Juszczyk and even tight end George Kittle in shotgun running attempts ahead of all of the backup running back options. Hasty was placed on IR last week, but Mitchell hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Seattle. Either way, it appears that Johnson will not have much utility, if any at all, for Week 4.

49ers' Kerryon Johnson: Moves to active roster
Kerryon Johnson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.This is an interesting move given the number of injuries to the San Francisco 49ers' backfield. With Raheem Mostert (knee) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) on injured reserve, and Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) considered unlikely to play Sunday evening, Trey Sermon (concussion) and Jacques Patrick represent the only prototypical backs healthy ahead of the prime-time clash against the Packers. Given Johnson was only recently signed to the team's practice squad, it's hard to imagine the 2018 second-round pick contributing significantly Sunday, but the 49ers have proven to be a running back factory of sorts. If there's any team that can help realize Johnson's potential, it's this one.

Kerryon Johnson: Possible promotion looming
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that there's a 'chance' Kerryon Johnson could be activated from the team's practice squad this week, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official website reports.Johnson was added to the team's practice squad after Raheem Mostert (knee) was ruled out for the season. Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) has a chance to play Week 3, but Trey Sermon (concussion) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) will likely be unavailable against the Packers next Sunday. Trenton Cannon is currently the only healthy running back on the 49ers' active roster, so a promotion for Johnson seems inevitable. San Francisco also held a workout for veterans Lamar Miller, T.J. Yeldon and Duke Johnson on Monday.
