REPORT: Ravens excuse Diontae Johnson from team activities for Week 16.TS.THANHDUNG

The  Ravens suspended Diontae Johnson and likely want to release the disgruntled wide receiver.  Still, with matchups against the Steelers, Texans, and Browns remaining, Baltimore’s front office and Johnson have agreed for the wide receiver to stay away from the team this week.

Johnson didn’t play a down in the Ravens’ 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and was suspended after refusing to enter the contest with Rashod Bateman injured.

 

Tylan Wallace and Nelson Agholor logged 40 snaps in the loss, with Johnson refusing to enter the game.

Johnson, 28, led the Carolina Panthers in receptions (30), receiving yards (357), and touchdown catches (three) through the first seven games before being dealt to Baltimore on Oct. 29. The Ravens sent a fifth-round pick to Carolina for Johnson and a sixth-round selection. It was considered a low-risk move because the Panthers picked up most of Johnson’s remaining salary, leaving Baltimore to pay about $625,000.

In Johnson’s first game with the Ravens on Nov. 7, he caught one pass for Baltimore while playing five snaps. Over his next three games, Johnson was targeted three times with no receptions while participating in 17 snaps.

Johnson, A third-round pick in 2019 by the Steelers, has totaled 422 catches for 4,726 yards and 28 touchdowns for Pittsburgh, Carolina, and Baltimore.

Now, he’s likely played his last snap for the Ravens.
