One of the big storylines of training camp is to see how the injured players from last season look and prepare to return for the new season ahead. Training camp is the time to really see how they have progressed in their recovery and if those players could be a contributor for next season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the case for any NFL team, given the number of injuries that happen. For the Houston Texans, star wide receiver Tank Dell<\/a> happens to be that player. Dell will be one of the key focuses and talk of training camp due to his massive recovery from a devastating knee injury suffered in Dec. 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dell tore his ACL, MCL, and LCL, dislocated his knee and kneecap, and sustained meniscus damage as well. This is an injury that requires multiple surgeries and could have been career-ending, but not for this Texans star.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tank Dell Turning Heads With His Incredible Workouts Before Texans Training Camp<\/h3>\n

Dell seems to have made exceptional progress on all the injuries he suffered in his left leg, and he really could be back and ready to go during training camp. The expectation is that Dell will be eventually ready around the start of the season, and it will be interesting to see how that ultimately looks. The original prognosis was that his return would be in 2026. The season is now just under two months away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2023 third-round draft pick has constantly been spotted around the Texans organization over the past year and a half, and the recovery has been visible. He gradually increased his workout levels, and it looks like he\u2019s close to his original strength and speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

KPRC 2 NFL insider Aaron Wilson reported back in December<\/a> that Dell made outstanding progress and was preparing for the 2026 season. There have been videos of him on social media training in the gym<\/a> with weights, going back to this February, or out on the field<\/a> training to get his leg in shape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New Encouraging Signs From Tank Dell<\/h3>\n

The former University of Houston Cougar was now spotted working out with his former college teammate, Matthew Golden, at the UH Indoor Practice Facility earlier this week, running routes and doing drills, according to The Receiver Factory. Dell looked quick and evasive, with a great change of direction. It was a great sign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
