00:03 The story for the Houston Texans this year, the rookies, the rookie head coach,
00:07 D'Amico Ryan, the rookie quarterback CJ Stroud, the rookie edge rusher,
00:11 Will Anderson Jr., and the rookie wideout Tank Dell.
00:14 He fractured his fibula yesterday in the win over the Denver Broncos.
00:19 As we look outward for this Houston side, the remainder of this regular season,
00:24 what's the timeline for Tank Dell in your estimation, is his rookie year already done?
00:30 >> His rookie season is unfortunately done, breakout year, he'll be fine for
00:35 next year, I would not be surprised if there's a surgery announced.
00:39 I saw a report, well, if Houston goes deep enough, he could come back.
00:42 Let me tell you something, Aaron Rodgers has a better chance of returning this
00:45 season than Tank Dell.
00:47 He's a small speedster wide receiver.
00:49 And Aaron Rodgers' chances, now that the Jets are four and eight,
00:53 are diminishing, or even the building as well.
00:55 So yeah, Tank Dell will not be back this season.
00:59 A young speedster, small wide receiver that requires speed and
01:04 separation to play with an ankle fracture is not returning in the same season.
