Tank Dell dislocated his knee, tore his ACL and suffered other damage against the Kansas City Chiefs last week.
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans revealed his wide receiver will undergo surgery and miss the rest of this season.
Dell was released from hospital after an overnight stay and was traveling back to Houston on Sunday.
He was injured on a 30-yard touchdown catch in Houston’s 27-19 loss Saturday. He was coming across the back of the end zone and made the spectacular catch on a pass from C.J. Stroud before colliding with Houston teammate Jared Wayne on the way to the ground.
Dell immediately grabbed at his knee and Wayne signaled for team trainers, who spent several minutes working on the wide receiver while teammates waited anxiously.
Dell was eventually placed on a stretcher and driven in a covered medical cart off the field, and then he was taken to the hospital.
