Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tank Dell (knee/IR) will have his practice window opened. 2026-10-05 14:00:02 Dell has missed the mandatory four games on injured reserve, but may be a week-to-week proposition at this point. None of the Texans secondary receivers have really hit the bar of fantasy interesting — partially because none of them gets full playing time — and we’d be skeptical that Dell would hit that either early in his return. But he could grow into a bigger role as the season plays out. |

Texans agreed to terms with WR Tank Dell on a one-year, $1.7 million contract restructure. 2026-09-04 10:00:02 The deal includes $1 million in guarantees while saving the franchise almost $2 million against the cap. Dell is reportedly nearing a return from the devastating knee injury suffered in Week 16 of the 2024 season but will begin 2026 on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he will miss the first four games of the regular season. The contract restructure hints at a potential “prove it” year for Dell, giving the team options following 2026 pending health. |

Texans GM Nick Caserio said Tank Dell (knee) is “close” but “not quite there.” 2026-09-01 14:00:02 He was already placed on injured reserve, so he’ll miss the first four games of the season. Reading between the lines it sounds like Dell has a chance to miss more than just the first four games of the season. Kayshon Boutte and Dalton Schultz will battle for the role of lead secondary target behind Nico Collins while Dell is sidelined. |

Texans placed WR Tank Dell on injured reserve, designated to return. 2026-08-30 18:00:02 The designation to return means that Dell is expected to contribute in some capacity this season, although he appears a ways off still. With Jaylin Noel still nursing an injury after experiencing a setback and Jayden Higgins lost for the season, recent acquisition Kayshon Boutte has all the runway to operate as the WR2 opposite Nico Collins to start the season. Xavier Hutchinson should also see an uptick in opportunities while tight end Dalton Schultz should see a significant boost in weekly volume. |

Texans WR Tank Dell did not practice on Sunday. 2026-08-16 16:00:02 NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson listed the Texans players who were not practicing on Sunday. Dell was the only player who was not listed with an injury designation, so it seems likely that this is just a rest day. The Texans are easing Dell, 26, back into action following a lengthy absence stemming from a multi-ligament knee injury suffered in 2024. Dell’s range of potential outcomes remains wide. He may be best suited to a complementary, rotational role. |
