The Houston Texans suffered a scary loss this past weekend when Tank Dell went down awkwardly on a touchdown reception. He suffered a dislocated kneecap, among other injuries to the leg. Accordingly, Houston has added a former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver off waivers.

Texans claim Diontae Johnson 

The Ravens placed Johnson on waivers last week after multiple weeks of simply no production from the veteran wideout. There was plenty of drama involved. 

The Ravens suspended Johnson for one game after he refused to play against the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year. Then, his release followed. 

On the flip-side, Baltimore claimed former Texans WR and returner Steven Sims. It was basically a swap of the two targets. Sims averaged 27.9 yards on seven kickoff returns so far this season.

Johnson and Sims will both get shots at revenge extremely quickly. If both are active this week, they'll take on their former teams. The Ravens and Texans are set for a Christmas Day matchup in the AFC.
