The Baltimore Ravens suspended wide receiver Diontae Johnson one game after he refused to enter Sunday’s contest against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The suspension will keep Johnson out of the Dec. 15 road game against the New York Giants. The Ravens have a bye this week.
“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 general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement Wednesday.
Johnson, 28, is with his third team in 2024 after he was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Carolina Panthers in March and then moved from the Panthers to the Ravens in October.
A third-round draft pick in 2019 out of Toledo, Johnson has just one catch for 6 yards in four games (one start) for the Ravens after he had 30 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns in seven games (all starts) for the Panthers earlier this season.
In six career seasons, the 2021 Pro Bowl selection has 422 receptions for 4,726 yards and 28 TDs for the Steelers (2019-23), Panthers and Ravens.
