Texans rookie will make an impact vs. Titans without playing a snap

Originally posted on A to Z Sports  |  By Adam Holt  |  Last updated 12/29/23

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Tank Dell was having an ultra-impressive season before suffering a broken fibula on November 26th. In just eight games, h totaled 709 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. 

Dell was arguably the best rookie wideout in the first half of the year, but his season ended much too early. He was also an emotional leader for the Texans offense alongside C.J. Stroud. On Sunday, he'll have an opportunity to hype his team and their fans up, though.

Dell will be the honorary hype man for the Texans as they take on the division-rival Tennessee Titans in Houston.

It's an exciting, unique honor for the rookie wideout. His impact is clear - both on and off the football field for his team.

Dell still ranks sixth in yardage for rookie pass catchers. Again, his total was gained in just eight games. The rest of the list has played for a bulk of the season for their respective teams.

Dell won't return to action this season due to the leg injury, but he's doing his best to make an impact dour Houston. Fans should love that.

The wideout is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for next season at full strength. He will be a joy to watch once again for the Texans. 

Houston plays the Titans at noon central on Sunday. They're currently four-point favorites.

Tune in before the game to see Dell's special role for his team in Week 17.
