Tom Pelissero reports that the Seahawks are placing CB Dontae Johnson on injured reserve with a groin strain.
According to Pelissero, the injury is not considered to be serious, but his availability for Week 1 was in question.
The Seahawks are also promoting CB Akeem King to their active roster.
Johnson, 26, 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 this offseason.
Johnson also met with the Vikings during free agency, but agreed to a deal with Seattle.
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. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 118 cornerback out of 120 qualifying players.
