Texans: In the aftermath of Tank Dell’s Horrifying Injury Vs. The Chiefs, Texans QB CJ Stroud Was Caught Breaking Down
When teammate Tank Dell went down with a knee injury against the Houston Texans on Saturday, quarterback CJ Stroud was understandably devastated:
Early in the third quarter, CJ Stroud found Tank Dell in the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown to make it a one-point game, the extra point pending for a tie. Unfortunately, Dell suffered a gruesome-looking knee injury on the play and had to be carted off:
