HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Texans receiver Tank Dell will miss the remainder of the season after dislocating a knee and tearing an ACL in a loss to Kansas City on Saturday.
Coach DeMeco Ryans revealed the details of the injury Monday before announcing that Dell would have season-ending surgery for a second straight year. Dell fractured his fibula in Week 13 against the Broncos as a rookie last season and had surgery on it the following day.
“He dislocated the knee, he tore the ACL, other things there he’ll have to get repaired," Ryans said. “So he’ll be out for the year.”
Ryans didn't have a date for Dell's surgery, but said it would be soon.
