Ryans: ‘We’re taking our time with Tank’

Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Player Stats

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said “we’re taking our time with Tank Dell” as he returns from his knee injury.

Dell has been on the practice field in a limited capacity for the Texans and is expected to be limited for the next few weeks. The fourth-year receiver missed all of last season due to a horrific knee injury he suffered in 2024 and is hoping to return to action sooner rather than later. On Friday, Dell was non-committal about when he expects to first suit up for a game, but he’s clearly trending in the right direction after an extended time away. Dell returning in any capacity is great news for a player who has had to endure what he went through to make it back, but he faces stiff competition for targets in a wide receiver room that is ripe with playmakers.

Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Tank Dell (knee) will play in Week 7 against the Giants.

Dell will make his long-awaited return next week against the Giants. By the time he takes the field in Week 7, Dell will have been more than 22 months removed from his last regular-season game, which came in Week 16 of the 2024 season. Dell suffered a torn ACL, LCL, and MCL, along with a dislocated knee, in that game against the Chiefs and has been on a long road to recovery. He’ll join a crowded receiver room that recently acquired Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jaylin Noel has posted a solid 17-334-2 line through the first six weeks of the season and topped 100 yards in Sunday’s win over the Jaguars. Targets could be hard to come by for Dell, but his return next week is an impressive feat on its own given the injury he had to work through.

Texans ruled out Tank Dell (knee) for Week 6 against the Jaguars.

The Texans depart for London tonight to face the Jaguars on Sunday, and Dell will remain in Texas. He is currently practicing in full, but the team has not yet cleared him for game-day activities. Dell does not need to be stashed in 12-team leagues at this time.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Tank Dell (knee) is practicing in full for Week 6 against the Jaguars.

The Texans are facing the Jaguars in London this week. If Dell travels, that would indicate that Dell has a chance to play for the first time since suffering a multi-ligament tear in 2024. He would be a low-floor FLEX if he is active.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Tank Dell (knee) won’t play in Houston’s Week 5 game against the Titans.

He did not practice on Friday and was ruled out. The Texans reportedly pushed hard on Dell in full pads on Thursday’s practice despite the questionable listing, it seems his body did not react as they’d hoped. This leaves Jaylin Noel in a potential FLEX-useful spot against a rough Titans secondary.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Tank Dell (knee) was limited on Thursday.

The diminutive wide receiver remains limited through two practices. In most situations, that would put him on track to play. In this case, Dell might need to consistently practice fully before the Texans let him go out there on game day. Stay tuned.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Tank Dell (knee) was limited on Wednesday.

It is unclear when Dell will take the field on game day, but he is officially participating in his 21-day practice window. His range of potential outcomes is quite wide. Stashing him on fantasy benches is a reasonable move at this time, though he is not guaranteed to be a fantasy contributor.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tank Dell (knee/IR) will have his practice window opened.

Dell has missed the mandatory four games on injured reserve, but may be a week-to-week proposition at this point. None of the Texans secondary receivers have really hit the bar of fantasy interesting — partially because none of them gets full playing time — and we’d be skeptical that Dell would hit that either early in his return. But he could grow into a bigger role as the season plays out.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver

Texans agreed to terms with WR Tank Dell on a one-year, $1.7 million contract restructure.

The deal includes $1 million in guarantees while saving the franchise almost $2 million against the cap. Dell is reportedly nearing a return from the devastating knee injury suffered in Week 16 of the 2024 season but will begin 2026 on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he will miss the first four games of the regular season. The contract restructure hints at a potential “prove it” year for Dell, giving the team options following 2026 pending health.

HOU Wide Receiver

Texans GM Nick Caserio said Tank Dell (knee) is “close” but “not quite there.”

He was already placed on injured reserve, so he’ll miss the first four games of the season. Reading between the lines it sounds like Dell has a chance to miss more than just the first four games of the season. Kayshon Boutte and Dalton Schultz will battle for the role of lead secondary target behind Nico Collins while Dell is sidelined.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Texans placed WR Tank Dell on injured reserve, designated to return.

The designation to return means that Dell is expected to contribute in some capacity this season, although he appears a ways off still. With Jaylin Noel still nursing an injury after experiencing a setback and Jayden Higgins lost for the season, recent acquisition Kayshon Boutte has all the runway to operate as the WR2 opposite Nico Collins to start the season. Xavier Hutchinson should also see an uptick in opportunities while tight end Dalton Schultz should see a significant boost in weekly volume.

Zach Charbonnet (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

Charbonnet was expected to get a full week of practice, so this is no surprise. He is listed as a full participant for the first time since returning to practice and is trending to be activated off the physically unable to perform list ahead of a Week 7 matchup against the Chiefs. With Jadarian Price on injured reserve, he is headed for a sizeable share of the Seahawks’ ambiguous backfield. Charbonnet is in the RB3 ranks if activated.

Jordan Mason (thumb) is practicing in full for Week 7 against the Colts.

Mason is firmly on track to play in Week 7 against the Colts. He should tentatively be expected to lead the backfield in carries right away, with Aaron Jones potentially settling into a 1B role. The Colts’ defense is not an imposing unit, so both running backs are FLEX-viable this week.

Brock Bowers (hamstring/calf) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Bowers is usually a limited practice participant due to his knee injury, before upgrading to full and eventually playing. However, this week is notable as he was listed with hamstring and calf injuries instead of a knee injury. He was still limited as usual on Wednesday but the new designations are something to keep an eye on throughout the week.

Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

In a semi-surprising twist of fate, the Raiders running back on the practice report with injuries is Washington, who was limited with foot and back injuries on Wednesday. Ashton Jeanty was not listed on the practice report. A limited practice indicates Washington is still trending to play Week 7, but with him appearing on the injury report and Jeanty off, any hopes for Washington achieving standalone fantasy value will have to wait.

Trent McDuffie (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

McDuffie injured his groin during last Thursday’s practice and did not play in Week 6 against the Cardinals. He starts out this week not practicing, putting him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 7. Also not practicing was LB Nate Landman (concussion). The Rams defense continues to lose players to injury; the Raiders face this defense in Week 7 and could see more fruitful fantasy performances than usual.

Budda Baker (groin/illness) did not practice Wednesday.

Baker played through the groin injury in Week 6 but starts out this week not practicing due to both the groin injury and an illness. Also not practicing for the Cardinals defense were DL Walter Nolen (ankle), S Andrew Wingard (knee), and CB Garrett Williams (knee). Each player will likely need to practice in some capacity in order to play in Week 7.

Kirk was limited all of last week but starts out this week listed as a full participant for the 49ers’ Wednesday walkthrough practice. He remains on injured reserve, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kirk is a “possibility” for Week 7. A full practice listing is a good start and Kirk could see WR3 volume immediately with Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel dealing with injuries.

Love will need to practice in some capacity to have a chance of playing this week, but Tyler Allgeier is back in the RB2 range if Love cannot go.
