HOUSTON >> The Houston Texans waived Diontae Johnson Tuesday after the beleaguered receiver — who was released by the Ravens earlier this season after refusing to enter a game — played just two games for them.

Johnson had one reception for 12 yards in Houston’s wild-card playoff win over the Chargers on Saturday.

He played four games for Baltimore after a trade from Carolina before being suspended for refusing to take the field and then being released on Dec. 20. He has 4,726 yards receiving in a six-year career that started in Pittsburgh.

Houston coach DeMeco Ryans said the team wasn’t worried about Johnson’s history when he was signed in late December. On Tuesday, he didn’t provide any details about why the Texans moved on from him as they prepared for Saturday’s divisional-round game at Kansas City.

“Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and we’re on to the Chiefs,” Ryans said.

The Texans signed Johnson after Tank Dell followed Stefon Diggs to the injured list with his season-ending knee injury on Dec. 21. Johnson had two receptions for 12 yards in a win over the Titans to end the regular season in which most of the team’s starters played sparingly.

Clements stepping down as Packers’ QBs coach

GREEN BAY, Wis.>> Tom Clements is stepping down as the Green Bay Packers quarterbacks’ coach after a 25-year NFL career in which he worked with Hall of Famer Brett Favre and four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said that the 71-year-old Clements is retiring. Clements had begun a second stint at Green Bay by joining LaFleur’s staff in 2022.

“Man, it’s been a cool ride with him for the last three years,” LaFleur said. “He’s incredibly consistent. What a great man, a great mind. Obviously he’s had the opportunity to coach some of the best.”

Clements began his coaching career after quarterbacking Notre Dame’s 1973 national championship team and playing 12 seasons in the Canadian Football League. He was the CFL’s most valuable player in 1987 and won Grey Cup titles with Ottawa in 1976 and with Winnipeg in 1984.

He spent four years as a Notre Dame assistant before beginning a three-year stint as the New Orleans Saints’ quarterbacks coach in 1997. He also coached quarterbacks with the Kansas City Chiefs (2000) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2001-03) and was the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator (2004-05) before coming to Green Bay in 2006.
