The Houston Texans made the decision to waive wide receiver Diontae Johnson on Tuesday following a brief and troubled tenure with the team. Johnson, who previously faced controversy after his release from the Baltimore Ravens for refusing to enter a game, played only two games for Houston, making minimal impact with just one catch for 12 yards in their wild-card playoff victory over the Chargers.

After being traded from Carolina to Baltimore, Johnson's career took a downturn when he was suspended and subsequently released in December. Despite his past, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans expressed confidence when signing Johnson, but the team opted to move on as they prepare for an upcoming divisional-round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson's brief time in Houston ended as the team looks to bolster its roster for the playoffs.
