Texans receiver Tank Dell has been released from the hospital after an overnight stay following a severe knee injury sustained in Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Dell's condition, stating that the injury is significant and that further evaluation is needed to determine the next steps for Dell's recovery.
The injury occurred during a 30-yard touchdown catch by Dell in the third quarter of the game. After making a spectacular catch, Dell collided with teammate Jared Wayne, resulting in immediate distress and the need for medical attention. Dell was subsequently taken to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
Ryans mentioned that the team is still assessing whether Dell will be able to return this season, pending consultations with medical professionals. He expressed gratitude towards the Kansas City Chiefs' medical team for their assistance and care provided to Dell following the injury.
This unfortunate incident adds to Dell's history of injuries, as he suffered a season-ending fibula fracture last year and a minor gunshot wound earlier this year. Despite these setbacks, Dell has been a valuable contributor to the Texans, ranking second on the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
The loss of Dell further challenges the Texans, who are already without Stefon Diggs due to a season-ending knee injury. The team will need to regroup and adjust in the absence of these key offensive players as they continue their season.
Our thoughts are with Tank Dell as he begins his recovery journey, and we wish him a speedy and full recovery from this latest setback.
