Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was visibly emotional when discussing the left knee injury that led to wide receiver Tank Dell's hospitalization following Saturday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

"It's not easy to just let it go, especially, that's my best friend," Stroud said after the game. "Not easy to move on and keep playing, but I tried to do as best as I could.

"My teammates held me up. Joe [Mixon] held me up. All of them, I appreciate those guys talking to me, because I was going through it. So I appreciate them being there for me.
