The Baltimore Ravens suspended wide receiver Diontae Johnson for one game for conduct detrimental to the team, the team announced Wednesday.
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said the suspension comes after Johnson refused to enter Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Baltimore is on its bye this week, so Johnson will serve the suspension in Week 15 against the New York Giants.
In four games with the Ravens, Johnson has one catch for six yards.
Johnson, 28, led the Carolina Panthers in receptions (30), receiving yards (357) and touchdown catches (three) through the first seven games before being dealt to Baltimore on Oct. 29. The Ravens sent a fifth-round pick to Carolina for Johnson and a sixth-round selection. It was considered a low-risk move because the Panthers picked up most of Johnson’s remaining salary, leaving Baltimore to pay about $625,000.
In Johnson’s first game with the Ravens on Nov. 7, he caught his only pass for Baltimore while playing five snaps. Over his next three games, Johnson was targeted three times with no receptions while participating in a total of 17 snaps.
A third-round pick in 2019 by the Steelers, Johnson has totaled 422 catches for 4,726 yards and 28 touchdowns for Pittsburgh, Carolina and Baltimore.
