Diontae Johnson and the Ravens continue to be at an impasse.
Johnson was suspended for this past Sunday’s game against the Giants after refusing to enter the game for the Ravens against the Eagles earlier this month.
Monday, the Ravens released a statement saying that the organization and Johnson “mutually agreed” for him to be excused from team activities leading into this week’s game against the Steelers.
During media availability on Monday, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was asked if he could envision Johnson, 28, returning for next week’s game.
“What I foresee, really to be honest with you and all I’m really thinking about right now is Pittsburgh. So he won’t be here this week and next week will take care of itself,” Harbaugh told reporters.
Harbaugh was asked why the team doesn’t just release Johnson and gave another roundabout answer.
“I’m really interested in the Pittsburgh Steelers, to be honest with you. I know you guys want to hear the story,” Harbaugh said.
