Houston WR Dell is out for the rest of the campaign

Houston sustained a blow to their receiving corps as WR Tank Dell is out with a campaign-ending injury.

The problem happened with almost 4 minutes left in the 1^st quarter of his organization’s 22-17 win against the Denver Broncos when Texans RB Dameon Pierce rushed for a 3-yard TD to give his franchise a 9-point lead. Tank was blocking on the play, and 1 of his legs got caught in a pile of Broncos defenders as he fell on the field.
