When Johnson was cut from Baltimore's roster, the Texans claimed him off waivers with two weeks left in the season. In the end, Johnson played two games with Houston, totaling three catches and 24 receiving yards before the team waived him this week.

In a surprise move, the Texans waived the veteran wide receiver just three weeks after claiming him off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens. He’s an impending free agent after the year, so only a team remaining in the playoffs could claim him for a run to New Orleans.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans waived Diontae Johnson Tuesday after the beleaguered receiver — who was released by the Ravens earlier this season after refusing to enter a game — played just two games for them. Johnson had one reception for 12 yards in Houston’s wild-card playoff win over the Chargers on Saturday.
