Diontae Johnson's peculiar stint with the Ravens proved to be short-lived, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

Baltimore waived the veteran receiver Friday, the team announced. The Ravens activated receiver Anthony Miller and defensive back Desmond King in corresponding moves.

Johnson joined the Ravens just before the trade deadline this season, moving from Charlotte to Baltimore via trade with the goal of providing an AFC contender with another weapon for Lamar Jackson. That never materialized, though, as Johnson caught just one pass in four games before receding into the background, getting suspended for a game after refusing to enter Baltimore's Week 13 loss to Philadelphia.

After the game, reporters asked why Tylan Wallace saw snaps over Johnson. Coach John Harbaugh remained vague on the matter, and Johnson was suspended later in the week.

His time in Baltimore ends with one catch for six yards on five targets in four games, a steep decline from the 30 balls he caught for 357 yards and three touchdowns in the first half of the season spent with the Panthers.
