Tank Dell - GM optimistic regarding return Houston general manager Nick Caserio said Wednesday that he expects Dell (knee) to be available for offseason activities, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Caserio acknowledged the team will have a better idea about Dell when he gets on a field during OTAs. The GM's comments echo those of head coach DeMeco Ryans, who told Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday that Dell pushed hard to return toward the end of the 2025 season. The coach added that he's looking forward to the wide receiver being back out on the field in 2026. Dell's return should bolster an offense that was often out of sync in 2025. Dell and quarterback C.J. Stroud have formed a working bond since both were drafted in 2023, and when the former was healthy, that bond was evident by the chemistry the two had on the field. Dell has caught 98 of 156 targets for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns over 25 regular-season contests.

Kaevon Merriweather - Inks future deal with Houston The Texans signed Merriweather (knee) to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Impact Merriweather ended the season on the Texans' practice-squad injured list due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 18 against the Colts. He appeared in 13 regular-season games between the Texans (one game) and Buccaneers (12 games) and totalled 11 tackles (six solo) while serving mostly on special teams. Merriweather will be on Houston's 90-man roster during the offseason, and if he's fully recovered from his knee injury, he would be permitted to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

Jaylin Smith - On track to play in 2026 Smith is progressing in his recovery from season-ending knee surgery and is on track to play next season, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The rookie-third corner landed on injured reserve in early November and was not cleared to return after undergoing a procedure on his knee. Smith also missed four games earlier in the year due to a hamstring injury and was limited to just four regular-season games, logging six tackles (three solo) and one fumble recovery while serving on special teams and the Texans' third corner behind Derek Stingley and Kamari Lassiter. Whether Smith is available start of the 2026 regular season largely depends on his level of participation during training camp.
