Diontae Johnson Released by Houston Texans

Diontae Johnson's tumultuous NFL journey continues as the Houston Texans have waived the former Pro Bowl wide receiver after just two games. Johnson, who had previously played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, and Baltimore Ravens within the past year, recorded minimal contributions with the Texans, catching only three passes for 24 yards. His brief stint in Houston was marked by frustration over limited playing time, leading to visible discontent following a playoff victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans acknowledged that the situation didn't work out, as the team prepares for their upcoming matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. This release marks the second time Johnson has been waived this season, raising questions about his character and ability to fit into team dynamics despite his talent. As he enters the waiver wire again, the prospects for his next opportunity remain uncertain.
