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:

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.
