Diontae Johnson is optimistic about his new journey with the Houston Texans, looking to leave behind a challenging season. After being claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens, Johnson expressed his enthusiasm to contribute to his new team. He acknowledged that his time with the Ravens did not unfold as expected, but he holds no grudges against them. Instead, he is focused on the opportunity ahead and aims to help the Texans win games, particularly as they look to make a playoff run.
Johnson's stint in Baltimore was brief and marked by limited production, including only one reception in four games. His challenges included a one-game suspension due to a refusal to play and an excused absence that ultimately led to his release. The Texans, meanwhile, have faced their own struggles, especially with injuries to key players like Tank Dell and Stefon Diggs, which have hindered their performance this season.
As the Texans prepare for their final regular-season game against the Tennessee Titans, Johnson is eager to showcase his skills and integrate into the team's offense. The Texans will be looking for a spark from Johnson as they aim to rebound from recent losses and secure a spot in the playoffs.
