Diontae Johnson Joins Houston Texans for Late-Season Playoff Push
The wide receiver seeks a fresh start after a tumultuous year with three teams, aiming to bolster Houston's injury-depleted offense.
- Diontae Johnson, a former Pro Bowl wide receiver, was claimed off waivers by the Texans after brief stints with the Panthers and Ravens earlier this season.
- Houston added Johnson to address a depleted receiving corps following season-ending injuries to Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell.
- Johnson expressed optimism about his new role, praising the Texans' team-first culture and emphasizing his readiness to contribute in any way needed.
- Head coach DeMeco Ryans has offered Johnson a clean slate, focusing on his potential to strengthen the team's playoff aspirations.
- The Texans, who have clinched the AFC South, hope Johnson can quickly build chemistry with quarterback C.J. Stroud ahead of their postseason run.
