Houston: So, it’s a tough break for Tank Dell. The Texans receiver really got hit hard with a nasty knee injury. Reports say he tore his ACL, LCL, MCL, and even messed up his meniscus. Ouch!
Coach DeMeco Ryans shared the news, saying Dell will be out for the rest of the season. It’s a real bummer, especially since he was just getting back into the groove after a rough rookie year.
Last season, he broke his fibula, which cut his time short. And if that wasn’t enough, he was also caught in a mass shooting in Florida earlier this year. Thankfully, he only had a minor injury from that.
He made it back for Week 1 this season and was doing great until that game against the Chiefs. He caught a touchdown pass, but then his teammate accidentally crashed into his knee. That was the moment everything went downhill.
It was pretty emotional to watch. Dell was in serious pain and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was visibly upset, which just shows how much the team cares.
After the game, Dell was taken to a hospital in Kansas City and stayed overnight. He managed to finish the game with six catches for 98 yards and a touchdown, but now he’s looking at a long recovery ahead.
It’s going to be a tough road for him, especially after dealing with so many injuries in just two seasons. Here’s hoping he bounces back stronger!
