Takes pay cut from Houston Dell (knee) agreed to take a pay cut from the Texans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Dell was scheduled to collect $3.624 million, but he'll now make just over $1.7 million in 2026. Dell missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign after a catastrophic knee injury suffered toward the end of the previous season. He's now opening this season on injured reserve and won't be eligible to play until Week 5 at the earliest.

Inching closer to return Texans general manager Nick Caserio said Tuesday that Dell (knee) is getting "closer" to a return, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact "He's close, he's not quite there," Caserio said. "He's closer than he was during training camp." Dell was placed on injured reserve with a designation for return to begin the season and will be required to miss at least the first four games. It's unclear if Dell will be ready to return when first eligible in Week 5 against the Titans. In the meantime, Nico Collins, Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel should see most of the snaps at wideout for Houston.

Landing on IR Dell (knee) will begin the season on IR with a designation to return, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Dell continues to work his way back from the serious knee injury he suffered in December of 2024. The promising news is that the wideout has progressed to working in team drills and is being allowed to progress at his own pace. Dell's placement on IR means he'll need to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season, but the designation to return means he's expected to suit up at some point in 2026.

Impact Dell didn't play in Friday's preseason game against the Chargers, which comes as no surprise because he's been limited to individual drills after missing the entire 2025 campaign following a December 2024 play in which he dislocated his left kneecap while also tearing the ACL and MCL in that knee. The Texans' next exhibition is Thursday versus the Raiders, and Houston opens the regular season Sunday, Sept. 13 against the Bills.

Involved in full-team drills Monday Dell (knee) participated in "full-team drills" Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Dell practiced in pads last week for the first time since injuring his knee, and after initially being limited to individual drills he has advanced to team work. Dell's status for Week 1 remains uncertain, but if he can avoid any setbacks there is reason to believe he will be out there when the regular season gets underway.

AUGUST 8 • SI.COM

Week 1 status unclear Dell said, "I'm taking it one day at a time" when asked Friday about his potential availability for Week 1 of the regular season versus Buffalo, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports.

Impact Dell practiced with pads Wednesday for the first time in training camp, though at this point he's limited to individual drills. The Texans have so far not committed to a timeframe for when Dell will be ready to play during the regular season, but the good news is that doctors have deemed his knee "100 percent stable." When Dell gets into a contest, it will be his first game action since he tore multiple knee ligaments and dislocated his kneecap against the Chiefs in Week 16 of the 2024 campaign.

NFL Catchup: Another Donald Update; Diggs Finds New Home; Texans Welcome Back A WR

Limited to individual drills Dell (knee) was limited to individual drills Wednesday while wearing pads for the first time this summer, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact It's both a sign of progress and reminder that the Texans want to slow-play things after Dell suffered major knee/leg injuries in each of his first two NFL seasons. He still has a shot to be ready in September, but his initial role could be small even if the team still views him as a potential top-three WR down the line.
