Ravens place Diontae Johnson on waivers
The Baltimore Ravens are waiving wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the team announced Friday.
Baltimore released Johnson after excusing him from team activities earlier this week.
Johnson missed Baltimore's 35-14 win over the New York Giants while serving a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team after refusing to enter a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Ravens' acquisition of Johnson didn't go as planned. The 2021 Pro Bowl receiver made one catch for six yards in four games with Baltimore since being acquired from the Carolina Panthers in an Oct. 29 trade.
Johnson will seek a fresh start elsewhere to close out his 2024 campaign. The veteran pass-catcher can be claimed off waivers prior to Monday at 4 p.m. ET, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
