  "account": "The Houston Texans have placed wide receiver Tank Dell on injured reserve at the start of the 2026 NFL season. Dell suffered a severe knee injury last season, which required multiple surgeries and kept him sidelined for the entire 2025 campaign. He is set to miss the first four games of the upcoming season but should return on October 11 against the Tennessee Titans at Reliant Stadium. Dell's recovery was not only physically demanding but also involved a significant mental challenge. He had to build trust in his rehabilitation process, the training staff's guidance, and his own abilities before returning to the field. Despite the challenges, Dell remains grateful for the Texans' support and is eager to reclaim his position among the team's five active receivers: Nico Collins, Jaylin Noel, Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, and Jared Wayne.",
