The San Francisco 49ers announced they elevated CB Dontae Johnson from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Detriot Lions. Johnson was the only player who was elevated from the practice squad.
Johnson could start, though the signing of Josh Norman would make far more sense. So I’d say it comes down to either Norman or Demmodore Lenoir, while Johnson plays special teams.
The corresponding move was placing wide receiver Jalen Hurd on the injured reserve. As a result, Hurd will miss at least three games. I’ll be curious to see how long Hurd misses and if he gives the offense anything this season.
