Positive test confirmed Johnson (illness) is on the reserve/COVID-19 list due to a positive test, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Schefter notes that if Johnson had been available, the 49ers would have promoted him to the active roster after Nick Mullens (elbow) got hurt. Instead, the team opted to sign Josh Rosen from the Buccaneers' practice squad.

In COVID-19 protocol Johnson was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Johnson either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. His placement in the league's COVID-19 protocol is ill-timed for the 49ers, as they just ruled Nick Mullens (elbow) out for the season, leaving C.J. Beathard as the starting quarterback to close out the campaign. In turn, the 49ers signed Josh Rosen off the Cardinals' practice squad to serve as the backup moving forward.
