Diontae Johnson had an efficient week of practice after getting traded from Carolina to Baltimore. Although he won’t be a starter, Todd Monken has a role as the veteran pass catcher.
Talking to Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports before Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos at M&T Bank Stadium, head coach John Harbaugh said Johnson would play about 10-15 snaps in his debut.
Johnson talked about quickly picking up the Ravens offense and could provide a spark in the deep passing game with Lamar Jackson.
Johnson has been a productive pass catcher in the NFL and one of the league’s best at creating separation on the outside.
Johnson had 30 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns this season for the Panthers.
