REPORT: Baltimore Ravens waive WR Diontae Johnson after four games, suspension.THANHDUNG

The Diontae Johnson experience is over in Baltimore after four games, one catch and a suspension for what the Ravens said was refusing to enter a game.

The Ravens waived the sixth-year wide receiver Friday morning and activated wideout Anthony Miller from the practice squad to take his spot.

Takeaways from the Ravens waiving Diontae Johnson

Baltimore had acquired Johnson via trade from Carolina on Oct. 29. The Ravens sent a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft to the Panthers in exchange for Johnson and a sixth-round selection.

Johnson was suspended for Baltimore’s Week 15 game against the New York Giants for conduct detrimental to the team.

“We have made the difficult decision to suspend Diontae Johnson for our upcoming game against the New York Giants for conduct detrimental to the team,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement at the time. “Diontae’s suspension stems from refusing to enter our game against the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Since Johnson has accrued more than four NFL seasons, he is officially released and can sign with any team immediately. He does not need to go through the waiver claim process before signing with a team of his choice.

Johnson made the Pro Bowl in 2021 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Carolina acquired him in a trade during the offseason, sending cornerback Donte Jackson and a sixth-round pick to the Steelers in return for Johnson and a seventh-round pick.

In 11 games this season (eight starts), Johnson has 31 catches for 363 yards and three touchdowns on 63 targets.
