Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud was understandably emotional and devastated after teammate Tank Dell went down with a knee injury in Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans.
Early in the third quarter, CJ Stroud found Tank Dell in the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown to make it a one-point game, the extra point pending for a tie. Unfortunately, Dell suffered a gruesome-looking knee injury on the play and had to be carted off:

We’ll be sure to provide more details on Tank Dell’s injury when they become available.
Another Bad Break For CJ Stroud’s Texans
The Texans already lost superstar wide receiver Stefon Diggs for the season with a torn ACL. We don’t have the injury results yet, but it’s not a stretch to assume that Dell is out for the season.
