Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell made his return to the field on October 25, 2026, after 673 days sidelined by injury. In a 27-21 overtime loss to the New York Giants, Dell had one reception for 43 yards and a short run, receiving a warm welcome from the Reliant Stadium crowd. He expressed excitement about getting back into the game, mentioning he felt anxious rather than nervous.
