Seattle Seahawks cornerback Dontae Johnson was placed on injured reserve Saturday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The projected starter suffered a groin strain this week that wasn't considered serious at the time, but he will now be unavailable for at least eight weeks of the regular season.
Akeem King has been promoted from the practice squad to replace Johnson on the 53-man roster, per Pelissero.
