The Ravens have suspended Johnson for one game for conduct detrimental to the team, the team announced Wednesday.
“We have made the difficult decision to suspend Diontae Johnson for our upcoming game against the New York Giants for conduct detrimental to the team,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement. “Diontae’s suspension stems from refusing to enter our game against the Philadelphia Eagles. We will have no further comments on this matter going forward.”
The Ravens have a Week 14 bye, so Johnson will be suspended for the club’s Week 15 tilt at New York.
Johnson has played a total of 39 snaps with the Ravens since Baltimore acquired him in an Oct. 29 trade with the Carolina Panthers. The wideout didn’t log a snap Week 13 versus Eagles, the game in which he refused to enter, according to the Ravens.
