Dell came in as a 2023 third-round pick and looked like a star in the making during his rookie season, but he took a step back in 2024 and then suffered a gruesome injury at the end of the season. Dell subsequently missed all of 2025, recovering from a series of torn ligaments and a dislocated kneecap. It sounds like he'll still have limitations this offseason, well over a year removed from the initial injury, but Texans coach DeMeco Ryans did tell reporters that he expects Dell to contribute in 2026. With Nico Collins locked in as the team's No. 1 receiver and Jayden Higgins out for the season due to an ACL tear, there's a big opportunity ahead for Dell to compete for playing time if/when he's medically cleared.
