Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is done for the 2024 National Football League season after suffering a season-ending ACL injury.
In addition to that knee issue, he’s also dealing with a dislocated kneecap which he suffered during their Week 16 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Sadly, Dell won’t be available for the postseason after the Texans clinched their playoff spot.

Last season, Dell had 47 receptions for 709 yards and seven touchdowns. However, he played only 11 games due to a fractured fibula. This year, he will finish with 51 catches for 667 yards and three touchdowns. While it’s a down year for Dell, he did have 98 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs. He had one 100-yard game this season, which occurred against the New York Jets.
With Dell sidelined by a season-ending injury, the Texans signed wideout Diontae Johnson. He was previously with the Baltimore Ravens but was waived when he refused to enter in their Week 13 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
