According to the New York Daily News, the 36-year-old said that his decision to leave was because producers drastically diminished his screen time last season.
He said: "It didn't seem like an ebb to me. No other series regular's character had ever disappeared like mine did this past season.
"There just comes a time when it's so clear that moving on is the best decision."
Knight also explained that he and series creator Shonda Rhimes experienced a "breakdown in communication".
It was recently reported that Knight will star in the musical 'Parade', which opens on 4 October in Los Angeles.
