Tank Dell’s Comeback Pause | Houston Texans News

Houston Texans are taking a cautious, strategic approach with star wide receiver Tank Dell, placing him on injured reserve despite his return to practice — buying time for his knee recovery and confidence rebuild. In exchange for cap relief of nearly $2 million, Dell agreed to a restructured one-year deal worth $1.7M with $1M guaranteed, slashing his cap hit from nearly $4M to just under $2M. Once a breakout rookie with 98 catches, 1,300+ yards, and 10 TDs in his first two seasons, Dell’s future hinges on whether he can reclaim his form after missing all of 2025. The move gives the Texans flexibility while keeping a key weapon tied to QB C.J. Stroud — but the real test is whether Dell can come back stronger than ever.
