The Texans claimed wide receiver Diontae Johnson off waivers from the Ravens on Monday, but they were not the only team to submit a claim.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports the Chargers also put in a claim.
The Texans and Chargers have the same 9-6 record, but Houston had a higher claim based on the aggregate winning percentage of their opponents. The Texans’ opponents are 110-114 and the Chargers’ 114-110, Daniel Popper of TheAthletic.com reports.
The Ravens cut Johnson on Friday, three weeks after he refused to enter the team’s game against the Eagles.
In Houston, Johnson will help play Tank Dell, who is out for the year with a severe knee injury.
