49ers release twice-retired tackle Anthony Davis.

If twice-retired offensive tackle Anthony Davis returns to the NFL yet again, it won’t be with the 49ers.

On Tuesday, the 49ers released Davis, 29, after he’d been reinstated by the league from the reserveretired list. Davis hasn’t played in the NFL since September 2016 when he left the NFL for the second time in a 15-month span.

Davis has appeared in one game since Dec. 28, 2014: He played seven snaps in the 2016 season opener before retiring for the second time.

Before his retirements, the 2010 first-round pick became one of the league’s best right tackles while starting all 64 games in his first four seasons.

Meanwhile, the 49ers welcomed back a draft pick by signing cornerback Dontae Johnson, 27, a 2014 fourth-round selection who has spent time with four teams since leaving the 49ers via free agency after the 2017 season.

Last season, Johnson was with the Seahawks, Bills and Cardinals, but appeared in only one game with Buffalo. He was waived by Kansas City in May following a threemonth stint with the team. Johnson made 22 starts and had two interceptions, both of which he returned for touchdowns, during his four seasons with the 49ers. He started 16 games in 2017.

The 49ers waived passrusher Pita Taumoepenu, a 2017 sixth-round pick, to make room for Johnson. Taumoepenu played in six games and logged 21 defensive snaps with the 49ers.

The 49ers also reportedly worked out cornerback Kayvon Webster, 28, a 2013 third-round pick of the Broncos, before signing Johnson.
