After Houston Texans head coach Demeco Ryans said Saturday wide receiver Tank Dell suffered a “serious knee injury,” the organization revealed further the damage this week.

He also was wounded in a shooting in Florida this spring but worked his way back and was ready to suit up by Week 1.

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans told reporters that wide receiver Tank Dell will remain at a Kansas City hospital overnight with a "significant" knee injury.
