The Texans have waived WR Diontae Johnson, reportedly for similar issues that plagued his time with the Ravens and led to his release.

Receiver Diontae Johnson is headed back to the Baltimore Ravens, who released him just over three weeks ago. The Ravens claimed Johnson off waivers on Wednesday following his release from Houston on Tuesday.
