New Start for Receiver Diontae Johnson in Houston

Diontae Johnson, a 28-year-old wide receiver, was picked up by the Texans on Monday. Johnson had a rough time with the Ravens, where he played a mere 39 snaps and caught just one pass for six yards before being cut last week. His off-field issues, including a one-game suspension and refusal to play, added to his struggles. Before joining the Ravens, Johnson had a solid season with the Panthers, grabbing 30 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns. With the Steelers, he racked up impressive stats over five seasons, with 391 receptions for 4, 363 yards and 25 touchdowns. His best season was in 2021, when he surpassed 1, 000 yards. The Texans are looking to fill a gap left by Tank Dell, who suffered a serious knee injury. Dell's loss has been tough on the team, as noted by teammate Nico Collins. The Texans and Ravens will face off on Christmas Day, adding an interesting twist to the situation.
