REPORT: Texans Cut WR Diontae Johnson After “Make A Scene” In Locker Room After Playoff Win

Diontae Johnson’s time in Houston is over as the Texans waived the wide receiver on Tuesday.

“Unfortunately, it didn’t workout,” said Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans. “We are onto the Chiefs.”

According to Texans beat reporter Landry Locker, Johnson was “visibly upset” during Saturday’s AFC Wild Card win over the Los Angeles Chargers and “made a scene” in the locker room after the game:

The Texans were Johnson’s third team this season after beginning the year with the Carolina Panthers before being traded to the Ravens on Oct. 29. He played seven regular season games with the Panthers and four with the Ravens before landing with the Texans following Tank Dell’s season-ending injury.

Johnson, 28, was acquired by Baltimore to bolster their receiver depth, but he was later suspended one game for refusing to enter their game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. He never played for the Ravens again after being waived on Dec. 20.

 Houston will face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
