Texans activate 21-day practice window for WR Tank Dell's return

The Houston Texans have opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Tank Dell, allowing him to begin conditioning as he recovers from a significant knee injury suffered last December. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans indicated that while Dell won't be guaranteed to play in the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans, this marks a positive development for the team's offensive plans. Dell, alongside offensive tackle Braden Smith and defensive tackle Kayden McDonald, may return to practice this week. Dell has not played since his knee injury in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Houston must decide on his active roster status before the end of the practice window. The team currently relies heavily on receiver Nico Collins, who recently returned from injury, while the depth behind him remains uncertain.
