Texans' Tank Dell Out for Season Following Severe Knee Injury

Houston's wide receiver suffered a dislocated kneecap, torn ACL, and additional damage, further depleting the team's offense ahead of the playoffs.

Tank Dell sustained a dislocated kneecap, torn ACL, and other ligament damage during a touchdown catch against the Kansas City Chiefs, ending his 2024 season.
Dell's injury marks his second consecutive season-ending surgery after fracturing his fibula in 2023, raising concerns about his availability for the start of the 2025 season.
The Texans' wide receiver corps has been significantly weakened this season, with earlier losses of Stefon Diggs to an ACL tear and other injuries to key players.
