    Texans' Tank Dell: Upgrades to full practice

    Tank Dell (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.Last Wednesday, the Houston Texans opened Dell's 21-day evaluation window, with the receiver proceeding to turn in two limited practices while sitting out another. He's now taken a step forward in his second week of practice, turning in a full session for the first time since he sustained a multi-ligament left knee injury back on Dec. 21, 2024. The Texans will likely want to see Dell turn in additional full practices before reinstating him from injured reserve, but he could have a shot at making his 2026 debut as soon as Sunday against the Jaguars in London if all goes well over the next few days. Once he's reinstated, Dell will be vying with the newly acquired Marvin Harrison as well as Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel for playing time behind No. 1 wideout Nico Collins.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Won't return for Week 5

    Tank Dell (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.Dell's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and the fourth-year wideout logged back-to-back limited practices before not participating in Friday's session. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a severe left knee injury that he sustained in late December of 2024, and while he won't return for Week 5, his next chance to do so is Week 6 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 18.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Remains limited in practice Thursday

    Tank Dell (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.Though he didn't take a step forward in terms of activity after being listed as limited Wednesday upon having his 21-day practice window opened, Dell was seen donning full pads Thursday, per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com. The wideout will likely still need to complete multiple full practices before being activated from injured reserve, so he could face an uphill battle to play in Sunday's game against the Titans. However, so long as Dell's surgically repaired left knee responds well as he ramps up his practice activity, he should be on pace to make his 2026 debut by midseason.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Limited in return to practice

    Tank Dell (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.Dell made his first practice appearance of the regular season, though he remains on injured reserve after his 21-day evaluation window was officially opened Wednesday. The Houston Texans have been taking it easy with Dell as he works his way back from a severe multi-ligament left knee injury, which he sustained Dec. 21, 2024. Houston has plenty of opportunity for snaps and targets behind No. 1 receiver Nico Collins, but in order to stake his claim to a meaningful role once he's activated from IR at some point over the next three weeks, Dell will need to show in practices that he hasn't lost too much of his pre-injury speed and explosiveness.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Designated to return from IR

    The Houston Texans designated Tank Dell (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.The move opens Dell's 21-day practice window, so he should be back on the field sometime in the next three weeks. Houston's offense is devoid of speed and playmaking ability outside of Nico Collins, but it's also unclear if Dell is going to be the same player he was before suffering his gruesome knee injury late in the 2024 season. He's a total unknown at this point and will compete for snaps and targets with the likes of Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson once he returns to action.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Expected to practice Week 5

    Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that he expects the Houston Texans to open Tank Dell's (knee) 21-day practice window this week, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.Still on the mend from the severe multi-ligament knee injury that he sustained Dec. 21, 2024, Dell was able to take part in some full-contact practices during training camp but sat out the Texans' entire preseason slate before he was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return prior to Week 1. The 26-year-old wideout appears to have responded well to the extra recovery time to begin the regular season, and he could be ready to mix into drills when Houston kicks off Week 5 prep Wednesday. Dell likely won't be activated ahead of Sunday's contest in Tennessee, but the Texans' willingness to open his practice window suggests that he's expected to be ready for game action by midseason.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Takes pay cut from Houston

    Tank Dell (knee) agreed to take a pay cut from the Houston Texans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Dell was scheduled to collect $3.624 million, but he'll now make just over $1.7 million in 2026. Dell missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign after a catastrophic knee injury suffered toward the end of the previous season. He's now opening this season on injured reserve and won't be eligible to play until Week 5 at the earliest.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Inching closer to return

    Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said Tuesday that Tank Dell (knee) is getting "closer" to a return, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. "He's close, he's not quite there," Caserio said. "He's closer than he was during training camp."Dell was placed on injured reserve with a designation for return to begin the season and will be required to miss at least the Texans' first four games. While Dell is sidelined, the likes of Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson will vie for snaps behind No. 1 wideout Nico Collins.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Landing on IR

    Tank Dell (knee) will begin the season on IR with a designation to return, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.Dell continues to work his way back from the serious knee injury he suffered in December 2024. The promising news is that the wideout has progressed to working in team drills and is being allowed to progress at his own pace. Dell's placement on IR means he'll need to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season, but the designation to return means he's expected to suit up at some point in 2026.

    Texans' Tank Dell: Working back at his own pace

    Coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that he's unsure if Tank Dell (knee) will play during the Houston Texans' preseason slate, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. "With Tank, he's on his own plan," Ryans noted. "Whatever that entails, geared toward what's best for Tank Dell."Dell didn't play in Friday's preseason game against the Chargers, which comes as no surprise because he's been limited to individual drills after missing the entire 2025 campaign following a December 2024 play in which he dislocated his left kneecap while also tearing the ACL and MCL in that knee. The Texans' next exhibition is Thursday versus the Raiders, and Houston opens the regular season Sunday, Sept. 13 against the Bills.
