Texans' Tank Dell: Moved to reserve/PUP list
The Houston Texans placed Tank Dell (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.Dell will be required to miss a minimum of four games, though it remains to be see exactly when -- if at all -- he'll be ready to resume practicing. The 2023 third-round pick is recovering from a severe knee injury sustained last December. Nico Collins and Christian Kirk will kick off the 2025 campaign as C.J. Stroud's clear top two wide receivers, while rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel compete for No. 3 reps.

Texans' Tank Dell: No timetable for return
GM Nick Caserio acknowledged Wednesday that there's no timetable for the return of Tank Dell (knee), who is on the active/PUP list, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Houston Chronicle reports.While Caserio hasn't completely ruled out the possibility that Dell could return at some point this season, it's clear that the wideout -- who suffered a significant knee injury last December -- still has a way to go in his recovery process. With that in mind, Caserio noted that Dell is "in the building every day. He's working really hard, but we're not going to put a timetable on anything," a notion echoed by coach DeMeco Ryans, who added that the 2023 third-rounder is "crushing the rehab." With Dell likely to miss a good portion of the coming season, the Houston Texans' top healthy veteran wide receivers are Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, with 2025 draftees Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel also in the mix to carve out steady roles in the team's passing attack.

Texans' Tank Dell: Placed on PUP list
The Houston Texans placed Tank Dell (knee) on the active/PUP list for the start of training camp, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Dell is unlikely to participate this summer, as he is coming back from MCL, LCL and ACL tears suffered Week 16 of last season. He'll likely miss a good chunk of the upcoming regular season, if not all of it. Dell had multiple surgeries this offseason, with the first in mid-January and the most recent in early March.

Texans' Tank Dell: Progressing, but return timeline TBD
Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans reiterated Monday that Tank Dell (knee) remains without a timetable for return, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Wilson reports that Dell is making "steady and impressive progress with major steps taken" following a pair of surgeries to repair the MCL, LCL and ACL in his left knee after he was injured in the Texans' Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. There have been rumblings that Dell could miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season. In an effort to stabilize the wide receiver position following Dell's serious injury and the departure of Stefon Diggs in free agency, the Texans acquired Christian Kirk and then used second- and third-round picks on Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, respectively.

Texans' Tank Dell: Undergoing second surgery
Tank Dell is scheduled to undergo a second procedure Wednesday to repair multiple torn ligaments in his left knee, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.Dell initially underwent surgery Jan. 15, the first of what was expected to be multiple procedures to address a dislocated kneecap as well as a torn ACL, LCL, MCL and associated meniscus damage to his left knee, which he sustained Dec. 21 while catching a touchdown pass in a loss to the Chiefs. Wednesday's surgery will reportedly be to repair the ACL. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said last week that Dell is "headed in the right direction with the recovery," but cautioned that it's "too soon" to project the extent of Dell's potential contributions for the 2025 campaign. Given the severity of Dell's injuries, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed a majority -- if not all -- of the upcoming season. Over his 14 appearances in 2024, Dell turned in a 51-667-3 receiving line on 81 targets.

Texans' Tank Dell: Will need multiple knee surgeries
Tank Dell is expected to require multiple surgeries to address damage to his left knee, the first of which he's scheduled to undergo Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.The 25-year-old will face a long road back from the severe season-ending knee injury he sustained in the Houston Texans' Dec. 21 loss to Kansas City. In addition to tearing the ACL, MCL and LCL in his knee, Dell also dislocated the knee and suffered damage to his meniscus. Given the nature of the injury and the multiple surgeries he'll require to repair the damage, the wideout's recovery will likely extend well into the 2025 season and potentially keep him sidelined for the entire campaign. The Texans may have a clearer timeline for Dell's return by the start of training camp, when he should be a few months removed from the last of his procedures. He concluded his second NFL season with 51 catches for 667 yards and three touchdowns on 81 targets over 14 regular-season games.

The Houston Texans placed Tank Dell (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Head coach DeMeco Ryans noted Monday that Dell suffered a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap in Saturday's loss to the Chiefs, per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com. The report also relays that Ryans added that there are "other things" Dell will need to get repaired when he undergoes surgery to address his significant injury.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Tank Dell (knee) will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap in his left knee, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.Dell will miss the remainder of his Year 2 campaign due to a pair of severe injuries sustained during Saturday's loss to the Chiefs, which occurred while hauling in a 30-yard touchdown from QB C.J. Stroud in the third quarter. The severity of Dell's injuries required that he was carted off the field and transported to a local hospital.
