The Houston Texans are grappling with a significant shortage in their receiving corps as they head into the 2024 NFL season. Initially bolstered by the addition of Stefon Diggs, the team now faces a daunting challenge with both Diggs and Tank Dell sidelined for the remainder of the year due to injuries. This situation has severely limited quarterback C.J. Stroud's options in the passing game.
In response, the Texans have signed Diontae Johnson, who is expected to provide an essential boost to the offense. Running back Joe Mixon expressed enthusiasm about Johnson’s integration into the team, highlighting his readiness and quick adaptation to the Texans' system. Johnson's journey this season has been tumultuous, moving from the Carolina Panthers to the Baltimore Ravens before landing in Houston.
With Johnson's experience and previous success, including a Pro Bowl appearance, the Texans hope to turn their season around. Johnson, who has recorded 31 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns this year, is anticipated to make his debut against the Tennessee Titans in the regular-season finale, a game that will be crucial for the Texans.
