Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is set to return to action on Sunday against the New York Giants, marking his first game since suffering a serious knee injury in late 2024. Multiple outlets report that Dell has been sidelined for nearly two years and is now cleared to play.

According to reports, the injury occurred in December 2024 and was described as devastating. The Athletic adds that Dell dislocated his left knee and tore three ligaments, with meniscus damage. Other coverage characterizes the injury as major and notes that Dell missed the entire 2025 season while recovering.

Outlets frame the return as a significant milestone in Dell’s rehabilitation and return to the field, with the common thread being his absence since the end of the 2024 season and his scheduled appearance versus the Giants.
