Chad Johnson was released  Sunday night by the Miami Dolphins, less than 24 hours after he was arrested in a domestic battery case involving Eveyln Lozada.

FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer was the first to report, tweeting the following:

That initial news has since been confirmed by several South Florida news outlets and Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald adds that the decision to cut Johnson was solely that of coach Joe Philbin.

Johnson was targeted once in his Dolphins debut on Friday night and was unable to catch a third down pass from QB Matt Moore.

On last Tuesday’s premiere of HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” Johnson was shown on the receiving end of a conversation about self-representation from Philbin after a profanity-laced address to the media.
