Diontae Johnson will be moving on to his third team this season after reportedly being claimed on waivers by the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The Ravens visit the Texans on Wednesday in a Week 17 matchup.

Johnson will join the Texans days after they lost wide receiver Tank Dell for the season after he was injured after a collision with teammate Jared Wayne following a 30-yard touchdown catch against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dell suffered a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap and will require surgery.

Johnson came to Baltimore in October, as part of a trade with the Carolina Panthers. He played in four games with the Ravens and then refused to enter their Week 12 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was suspended by the team for one game, with general manager Eric DeCosta citing “conduct detrimental to the team” in a statement. It is unclear why Johnson refused to play.

Johnson was then excused from team activities following the suspension and was then waived on Dec. 20.

This story will be updated.
