Houaton Texans wide receiver Tank Dell tore his anterior cruciate ligament in addition to dislocating his entire knee in a season-ending injury that will be surgically repaired and he will be placed on injured reserve, Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports.

“It’s unfortunate, it’s a significant knee injury,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans updated Dell’s status Monday during a news conference at NRG Stadium. “He dislocated the knee, tore his ACL, there are some other things there. He’ll have the knee repaired.”

It’s a devastating medical setback for Dell, who traveled back to Houston on Sunday after being treated and released from the University of Kansas Medical Center trauma unit as Ryans reiterated that it was a severe injury sustained by the former University of Houston standout while catching a touchdown Saturday against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
