Will the Baltimore Ravens hold onto wide receiver Diontae Johnson the rest of the season?
The Ravens suspended Johnson for Week 15’s matchup against the New York Giants, after he refused to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in last Sunday’s loss.
“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 executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement. “Diontae’s suspension stems from refusing to enter our game against the Philadelphia Eagles.”
Johnson was supposed to shore up the wide receiver corps and be another playmaker for quarterback Lamar Jackson to rely on when the Ravens acquired him from the Carolina Panthers at the trade deadline for a fifth-round pick.
Instead, he’s been a massive disappointment, having only played in 22 snaps and been targeted five times in four games prior to the suspension.
