The Houston Texans have been the focus of attention this offseason, particularly regarding their offense. While starting quarterback C.J. Stroud has garnered significant headlines, there are growing concerns about the wide receiver group, especially the status of Tank Dell.
Jonathan M. Alexander from the Houston Chronicle reports that Dell may not be ready to start for the Texans in their season opener on September 13. Dell began participating in practice during the second week of training camp, but his involvement has been limited, primarily focusing on individual drills and a few team reps.
Recently, he has not practiced in front of the media for three days, raising further questions about his readiness.
Despite two league sources indicating that Dell has not experienced a setback, he is not yet able to practice on a daily basis. It appears unlikely that he will participate in the Texans' final preseason game, leaving only three weeks of practice before the season begins.
This situation may lead the Texans to retain seven receivers instead of the usual six on their 53-man roster while they await Dell's return.
