Texans: Diontae Johnson already out
Things move quickly in the world of Diontae Johnson (WR). Already cut by the Panthers and the Ravens this season, the receiver was once again fired Tuesday evening. This time by the Texans, whom he joined on December 23.
“Unfortunately, it didn’t work out with Diontae,” DeMeco Ryans said soberly Tuesday.
Johnson was seen visibly frustrated in the locker room following the first-round playoff victory over the Chargers. In this game, he played 15 of 70 offensive snaps. He caught a ball for 12 yards. ESPN reports that Joe Mixon and Azeez Al-Shaair tried to comfort him.
Apparently, that wasn’t enough. Johnson is now looking for his fourth team of the year, if any of the remaining franchises are interested…
The Browns have their offensive coordinator
Tommy Rees should be the offensive coordinator of the Browns in 2025. According to ESPN, he was the one chosen for the position, free since the firing of Ken Dorsey after the season.
Rees was already on Cleveland’s staff this season. He played the role of tight ends coach and specialist in the passing game. The young 32-year-old coach was the offensive coordinator at Notre Dame from 2020 to 2022. A university in which he himself played quarterback.
Rumors
– Jason Witten future coach of the Cowboys? Not this year, but later? According to Pro Football Talk, the name of the former tight end would be one to watch on the Dallas side. Our colleagues say they have consulted people close to the matter, who believe that Witten would be destined to become the head coach of Dallas at one point or another, and that if Mike McCarthy had accepted a short-term contract, Witten would perhaps have joined the staff to gain experience. For the past four years, Witten coached a high school team.
Injuries
– Tyler Higbee (TE, Rams) was released from the hospital. Sean McVay confirmed Tuesday that the tight end was taken there because he was coughing up blood during the game. Apparently, nothing serious, since the coach also explained that his tight end is thinking of playing the next playoff game.
– Bobby Wagner (LB, Commanders) did not practice Tuesday due to an ankle injury, which he apparently suffered in the first playoff game. Zane Gonzalez (K, hip) was limited.
