Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell practices in full pads for the first time in nearly two years, multiple outlets report. The session comes on Wednesday during Texans training camp and marks Dell’s return to padded team work after a knee injury sustained in December 2024. Both reports describe the practice as another step in his rehabilitation and development toward a return to the lineup. Yahoo Sports says Dell practices in pads for the first time since 2024, framing it as progress toward playing again. Fox News similarly reports Dell practices in full pads at camp and emphasizes that it is his first time taking NFL action in pads since the injury. Neither report indicates a specific game return date or a final clearance timeline. The reporting consistently ties the padded practice to Dell’s recovery from the December 2024 knee injury and presents it as part of his gradual return to full football participation.
