The Texans have opted to move on from wide receiver Diontae Johnson.
Houston is the latest team to waive the veteran after claiming him off waivers when the Ravens let him go earlier in the season.
Johnson appeared in the Week 18 win over the Titans and in the wild card round win over the Chargers. He caught a pass for 12 yards Saturday afternoon while on the field for 16 (22%) of the club’s offensive snaps.
Johnson had already caught 30 passes for 357 yards with three touchdowns in seven games with Carolina and one pass for 6 yards in four games with Baltimore in 2024.
Additionally, the Texans placed tight end Cade Stover on injured reserve. He caught four passes for 28 yards in the win over Los Angeles. The fourth-round rookie out of Ohio State had 15 receptions for 133 yards with one touchdown in 15 regular season games.
