According to Adam Caplan, the 49ers are re-signing CB Dontae Johnson on Wednesday.
With Richard Sherman‘s hamstring injury set to keep him out for a few games, San Francisco needs some depth at corner for the final few weeks.
Johnson is well-versed with the team given that this will be his third stint in San Francisco this year alone.
Johnson, 27, is a former fourth-round pick of the 49ers back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,620,544 contract with the 49ers before signing on with the Seahawks in 2018.
After brief stints with the Bills and Cardinals in 2018, Johnson signed on with the Chiefs this offseason. Kansas City released him in May and Johnson returned to the 49ers, only to be let go during final roster cuts.
The Chargers signed him to their active roster only to release him when Melvin Gordon returned, making his stint in Los Angeles short-lived. Johnson returned to the 49ers again in October before being cut in November.
In 2017, Johnson appeared in all 16 games for the 49ers and recorded 77 tackles, one interception returned for a touchdown and seven pass defenses.
