The Texans ruled out Dell (knee) for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Currently in the midst of his second week of practicing with the Texans after having his 21-day evaluation window opened Oct. 7, Dell has taken a notable step forward in his recovery from a severe left knee injury by turning in back-to-back full sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Though the Texans won't bring him back from injured reserve for the London game, Dell stands a strong chance of being activated ahead of the team's Oct. 25 matchup with the Giants and seeing his first game action since December 2024 if he can continue to practice without restrictions next week.

Dell (knee) will begin the season on IR with a designation to return, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dell continues to work his way back from the serious knee injury he suffered in December 2024. The promising news is that the wideout has progressed to working in team drills and is being allowed to progress at his own pace. Dell's placement on IR means he'll need to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season, but the designation to return means he's expected to suit up at some point in 2026.
Dell has an opportunity to earn an expanded role, as DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports that Jayden Higgins suffered a torn ACL in Tuesday's joint practice with the Raiders.
Dell missed the entire 2025 season due to a knee injury of his own, but he has been making progress in his recovery with the goal of returning in 2026. Prior to the injury, Dell was the team's second-best wide receiver behind Nico Collins, and Dell has a clear path to regaining that distinction following Higgins' injury. Dell had 1,376 receiving yards and 10 touchdown catches across 25 regular-season games in 2023 and 2024.
