Texans WR Tank Dell returns to practice after missing season
Wideout Tank Dell made his return to the practice field for the Houston Texans on Wednesday.
Dell participated in a limited capacity, but it marked the first time he has engaged in any sort of team padded practice since December 2024. He caught a few passes from quarterback C.J. Stroud during individual drills and ran full speed routes, but that concluded his involvement for the morning.
"Tank is on the right plan," coach DeMeco Ryans said, as the team progresses Dell slowly to make sure he's ready for 11-on-11 contact reps.
"Nothing's changed in his plan. We're progressing him on really well. We expect him to just continue to progress with how he's feeling," Ryans said.
