The Houston Texans will be without star rookie wide receiver Tank Dell for a while. Dell reportedly suffered a fractured fibula and will likely head to injured reserve, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He would miss a minimum of four weeks if the team placed him on IR.
Dell left Week 13 against the Denver Broncos on a cart late in the first quarter after a rushing touchdown from Dameon Pierce. He was initially ruled questionable to return with an ankle injury before the team ruled him out for the rest of the game by halftime.
