Texans WR Tank Dell Undergoes Second Knee Surgery, Likely Out for 2025 Season

The wide receiver faces a long recovery after a severe knee injury, leaving his future with the Texans uncertain.

Tank Dell suffered a dislocated knee and multiple torn ligaments during a Week 16 game against the Kansas City Chiefs in December 2024.
Dell underwent his first surgery in January 2025 to repair his MCL and LCL, and a second surgery on March 5, 2025, to reconstruct his ACL.
Recovery timelines suggest Dell will not return for the 2025 NFL season, with a possible return in 2026 still uncertain.
This marks Dell's second season-ending injury in his young career, following a fractured fibula during his rookie season in 2023.
Despite the setback, Dell has maintained a positive outlook, receiving support from teammates and Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans.
