Baltimore Ravens claim wide receiver Diontae Johnson off waivers from the Houston Texans for compensatory draft pick reasons

Receiver Diontae Johnson was claimed by the Ravens after he was waived by the Texans. He can't join Baltimore until after the Super Bowl and will be a free agent.

An unrestricted free agent, Johnson can earn the Ravens an extra 2026 draft pick if he signs with another team in the offseason.

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.

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.

Houston Texans rookie tight end Cade Stover‘s season has come to an unfortunate end following a collarbone injury sustained in Saturday’s victory over the Chargers. The injury will require surgery, and Stover has been placed on injured reserve.
