Houston Texans rookie receiver Tank Dell exited the game against the Denver Broncos with an ankle injury on Sunday at NRG Stadium.
With 3:49 remaining in the first quarter, the Texans called a run play from the three yard line. Dameon Pierce ran it in from three yards out. In the scrum at the goal line, Dell was injured. As the players cleared, Dell was on the ground still in considerable pain.
Texans athletic training staff immediately tended to Dell as his teammates circled up at the five yard line and prayed. Dell was eventually loaded onto a cart. The entire Texans team came over and patted Dell on the shoulder pads, hugged him or shook his hand.
Dell was carted off and was initially listed as questionable to return to the game with an ankle injury. At the beginning of the third quarter, Dell was ruled out and would not return to the game.
