Wide receiver Tank Dell is a very special football player. Ever since he stepped onto the field in 2023, he has brought an explosive element to the Houston Texans’ offense. When healthy, he is one of the better route runners in football. The problem has never been his talent — it has been staying healthy.
Dell has suffered multiple season-ending injuries throughout his first two seasons in the league, which ultimately caused him to miss the entirety of his third season.
He has overcome a lot in his short NFL career, and now, entering his fourth year with the Texans, he is finally making progress toward his highly anticipated return.
The speedy wideout participated in a very light practice today, which is an encouraging sign as he prepares for an increased workload once training camp begins in late July.
The reality is that Dell will be on a very specific and carefully managed plan, and that is the best approach as he works his way back to becoming the player he knows he can be.
It remains unclear whether Dell will be available for the start of the regular season, but every step forward is a positive development for both him and the Texans. If he can return to form, he has the ability to give Houston’s offense a completely different dimension.
