Ravens cut WR Diontae Johnson, promote 2 from practice squad for Steelers game

Not two months after executing a deadline trade for wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the Baltimore Ravens have waived him.

The receiver leaves behind a significantly disappointing opportunity for the Ravens, as they’d hope to use him down the stretch and incorporate him into their offense down the stretch of the regular season and into their expected Super Bowl push in the playoffs. But after a lack of usage, Johnson became disgruntled with the coaching staff, ultimately culminating in him refusing to play in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles after wide receiver suffered an injury in a one-possession game.
