The wide receiver is back on the field roughly 22 months after a devastating knee injury that tore three ligaments and damaged his meniscus.
Tank Dell is finally getting back on an NFL field. The Texans wide receiver is set to play Sunday against the New York Giants, marking his first game action in about 22 months.
Dell's absence traces back to December 2024, when he dislocated his left knee and tore three ligaments, with meniscus damage adding to the severity of the injury. The recovery timeline for that kind of damage is notoriously long, and Dell has spent nearly two years working his way back.
For Houston, getting Dell back adds a familiar weapon to the receiving corps as the team looks to round out its passing attack. For Dell himself, Sunday represents the finish line of a comeback that began with one of the uglier injuries a receiver can suffer.
No further details on his role or snap count Sunday have been specified.
