The Houston Texans have made a surprising move by releasing wide receiver Diontae Johnson shortly after their Wild Card Round victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. This decision has raised eyebrows, especially since Johnson was brought in late in the season to bolster the team's playoff aspirations.

Reports indicate that Johnson was frustrated after his minimal involvement in the game, where he only recorded one catch for 12 yards. His dissatisfaction with his role has persisted throughout the season, prompting reactions from teammates trying to diffuse the situation. This marked Johnson's third team in a single season, as he previously played for the Carolina Panthers and the Baltimore Ravens before his stint with the Texans.
