Texans Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon revealed what he did while he watched in horror as Tank Dell suffered a gruesome injury.
Dell was carted off Saturday’s game against the Chiefs after suffering a knee injury.
Before that, his teammates came over to see about his condition.
Dell caught a 30-yard touchdown but, in the process, had his knee rolled into by a teammate.
Joe Mixon says he could do nothing but pray for his friend and teammate as he was screaming in pain.
