Houston Texans Release Diontae Johnson Ahead of Playoffs

The Houston Texans have waived wide receiver Diontae Johnson ahead of their Divisional Round playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs, marking yet another tumultuous chapter in his season. Johnson, who has played for four teams this year, was previously released by the Baltimore Ravens after a controversial episode where he refused to enter a game. During his brief time with the Texans, he participated in two games, making three catches for 24 yards. This decision leaves Houston with an even thinner receiving corps as they prepare to face one of the league's top teams. Johnson's career is now in jeopardy as he heads into free agency with a reputation that has been called into question. The Texans' move highlights the ongoing struggles both for Johnson and the team's offensive depth.
