Will Tank Dell Be A Factor In 2026?

Texans WR Tank Dell is expected to be ready for the offseason program, GM Nick Caserio said Wednesday. Dell missed the entire 2025 season after damaging the ACL, MCL, LCL, and meniscus in his left knee in December 2024. He needed at least two surgeries. Caserio admitted that the team still doesn't know how Dell will fare coming off such a significant injury. "Have a better idea when you get on field what that actually looks like," Caserio said. "Knowing Tank, cautiously optimistic he can be Tank Dell." There simply aren't many instances of a player returning from an injury like this, so Dell is an impossible projection at this point of the offseason. He's no better than a late-round flier in early best-ball drafts -- but we'll certainly keep a close eye on his status throughout the offseason. Dell at least has age on his side at just 26.
