It was a busy day on Sunday for San Francisco 49ers cornerback Dontae Johnson. We take an early look at his performance against the Detroit Lions.
For the second straight week, cornerback Dontae Johnson was effectively a starter opposite Tramaine Brock. In Week 15, Kenneth Acker got the start, but finished the game with nine snaps to Johnson's 53. This past week, Johnson again got the bulk of the work. Johnson finished with 70 of 71 snaps, while Kenneth Acker finished with 11 snaps. Jimmie Ward had 55 snaps as the nickel back, while Marcus Cromartie had three snaps as the final cornerback.
