RESOLVING THE LEDGER
This is one outlet's own report from Yahoo Sports — the article as it was filed.
Tank Dell is officially back for the Houston Texans .
Dell, who suffered a severe leg injury in 2024, did not appear on the PUP list released by the team Tuesday afternoon . He will be cleared to participate in all drills for the start of training camp.
After missing an entire season due to a dislocated knee and multiple ligament tears, Dell began to make strides during the offseason. In the early stages of OTAs , the Texans ' fourth-year wide receiver caught passes in individual drills and later caught several passes against the team's secondary.
The #Texans released their list of PUP players and speedy WR Tank Dell is not on it. After missing last year with a significant knee injury, this is excellent news.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 28, 2026 Midway through last season, Dell began to ramp up his workouts. He even tried to make a push for a postseason return after the Texans clinched 12 wins, but the team chose to give him more time to get acclimated to his body and prep for the start of a new season.
The former third-round pick is far from back to full speed, but it was a good sign to see him do more than just drills off to the side. Houston has remained steadfast with a big-picture approach on getting Dell caught up, bringing back the hope that he can ramp up his participation by training camp and regain his old form.
Entering 2026, the Texans need another weapon. Dell should be the guy, if healthy, to pair alongside Pro Bowler Nico Collins and second-year standouts Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel.
Over his two active seasons with the Texans, Dell has caught 98 passes for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns.
