After losing Stefon Diggs to a torn ACL in October, the Texans lost another star at wide receiver when Tank Dell was hospitalized after suffering a horrific injury against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.
The Texans announced that Dell suffered a torn ACL, knee dislocation and other serious damage to his leg, in what was a scary scene at Arrowhead Stadium after he reeled in a touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud.
Texans players, especially Stroud, were visibly emotional as they watched Dell get loaded into an ambulance after the graphic injury.
He is now out for the rest of the year, along with Diggs, leaving Nico Collins as the lone starting receiver who began the year with the team.
Johnson’s time with the Ravens didn’t quite go as planned.
Baltimore traded for Johnson (and a sixth-round pick) from the Carolina Panthers on October 29th, for a fifth-round pick in 2025, in hopes of boosting their wide receiver room.
Fast forward less than two months later, Johnson only played 39 snaps in four games, catching one pass for six yards.
Prior to that in Carolina, he had 30 catches for 357 yards and three touchdowns in seven games.
On top of his abysmal performance in Baltimore, he also proved to be a headache.
The Ravens suspended Johnson for refusing to enter their game agains the Philadelphia, before mutually agreeing to excuse him from team activities last week, leading up to their game against Pittsburgh.
Before the Texans claimed him, fans of various teams were online making their voices be heard that they did not want their team to claim him.
‘Wait, you’re telling me Diontae Johnson quit on his team? There’s people who dead serious want him back. SMH,’ wrote one Pittsburgh fan on X.
