Johnson played in two total games for the Texans, catching two passes for 12 yards in the regular-season finale against the Tennessee Titans, and one catch for 12 yards in the wild-card win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 28-year-old was claimed by the Texans on Dec. 23 after being waived by the Baltimore Ravens .

Johnson was disgruntled during his stint with the Ravens, earning a suspension for refusing to enter a game and ultimately getting waived by Baltimore. The Texans were Johnson's fourth team in the span of a calendar year, dating back to his time with the Steelers.

In a surprise move, the Texans waived the veteran wide receiver just three weeks after claiming him off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens. He’s an impending free agent after the year, so only a team remaining in the playoffs could claim him for a run to New Orleans.
