The Houston Texans have faced a significant setback with the injury of wide receiver Tank Dell, who suffered a devastating knee injury during the 2024 NFL season. Dell's injuries include a torn ACL and damage to multiple ligaments, leading experts to anticipate his absence for the entire 2025 season. This is a blow not only for Dell but also for quarterback C.J. Stroud, with whom he had developed a strong connection, making him a critical part of the Texans' future plans.

Though the Texans await a full recovery, Dell's performance in his rookie year was promising, catching 47 passes for 709 yards and seven touchdowns. His efforts in the subsequent season saw him catching 51 passes for 667 yards and three touchdowns across 14 games. As he focuses on rehabilitation, there’s hope that a successful recovery will lead to a strong comeback in the 2026 season.
