Tank Dell is set to return for the Houston Texans in Week 7 of the 2026 season, his first NFL game since 2024. The discussion runs through Houston's healthy receiver room - Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison Jr., Jalen Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, Keyshawn Booty and Dell - and credits it for CJ Stroud's improved play, with a Texans-by-17 prediction for the week. Earlier, DeMeco Ryans said he is taking back defensive play calling.
