The San Francisco 49ers announced they have released wide receiver Tyron Johnson, which gets the team to the 90-man limit. The Niners signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract on February 6.
Johnson (6-1, 193) entered the NFL after signing with the Houston Texans on May 10, 2019. Over his three-year career with the Texans (2019, 2022), Los Angeles Chargers (2020), Jacksonville Jaguars (2021), and Las Vegas Raiders (2021-22), Johnson has appeared in 26 games (one start) and registered 23 receptions for 442 yards and three touchdowns. He has also appeared in one postseason game as a member of the Raiders.
Johnson began the 2022 season with the Raiders before being waived on October 22, 2022. He signed with the Texans on October 25, 2022, before being waived on November 16, 2022. Johnson later signed to the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad on November 29, 2022, where he spent the remainder of the season.
A 26-year-old native of New Orleans, LA, Johnson attended Oklahoma State University (2016-18) after transferring from Louisiana State University (2016). Throughout his collegiate career, Johnson appeared in 34 games, where he tallied 80 receptions for 1,288 yards and 12 touchdowns.
