The Houston Texans just got a huge win against the Denver Broncos to move to 7-5 for the year. They are no one game out of the wildcard spot once again.
But they suffered a terrible loss along the way.
During a goalline rush play early in the game, the Texans put rookie wide receiver Tank Dell on the end of the offensive line to help with blocking. The Texans scored, but the rookie stayed on the ground after the play and had to be carted off the field.
After the game, news broke that Dell suffered a fractured fibula. He will be placed on IR, and there is a large chance his season will likely be over.
One of C.J. Stroud's favorite targets, which is just a brutal loss.
