“We’ll see,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said when asked about Dell’s condition. “We’ll see how Tank is doing later in the week.”

A dynamic third-round draft pick from the University of Houston, Dell has caught 19 passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns.

Veteran wide receiver Robert Woods suffered a rib injury, but he finished the game and caught three passes for 30 yards on nine targets.

“It’s part of the game, a physical game,” Woods said. “Things happen. We have a great support staff in the training room. The coaches felt confident in me getting back out there, and so did I. Just being able to contribute and do what I can for the team and find a way to finish the game.”
