Tank Dell back on the practice field for the first time since December
First day back in pads is not a small thing. It is the moment between being hurt and being a football player again.
Tank Dell is a wide receiver for the Houston Texans — quick, precise, the kind of player whose presence on the field changes what a defense has to account for. He has been away from padded practice since December 2024, which is a long time to watch your teammates work from the sideline.
On Wednesday, he was out there. Running with the group. Back in pads. Whatever the road between December and now looked like, it ended on a practice field in Houston.
That is what the return of a player looks like before it becomes a storyline — one Wednesday, showing up.
