Texans star wonders if team is cursed after Tank Dell injury

The Houston Texans sideline and subsequent postgame locker room was littered with emotional players Saturday afternoon after the gruesome dislocated kneecap suffered by wide receiver Tank Dell.

Quarterback C.J. Stroud was filmed crying on the sidelines in Kansas City after Dell's season-ending knee injury in the third quarter. Fellow wideout Xavier Hutchinson noted postgame the team's wide receiver room will be without its "light" with Dell now sidelined. Texans offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil took a wider view, considering Dell's injury alongside the season-ending blows to star wide receiver Stefon Diggs and standout defensive back Jalen Pitre.
