The Houston Texans have resumed practice, highlighting the return of Jalen Pitre and the absence of Tank Dell. Pitre's participation is a positive sign for the team, especially after he missed multiple games in previous seasons. He was seen practicing on August 15, following a week away from the field.
In contrast, Dell's absence raises concerns about his recovery from a significant knee injury that kept him out for the entire 2025 season. Along with Dell, other injured players like wide receiver Jaylin Noel were also noted as missing practice.
Although Dell had previously avoided the injured list at the start of training camp, his availability for the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders remains uncertain.
The Texans are navigating a challenging injury situation, with several players unable to participate in practice, including Ja'Marcus Ingram and Brevin Jordan. Despite these challenges, the team reports that no starters are in immediate danger of missing the Raiders game.
To strengthen their roster, the Texans have signed running back Owen Wright and tight end Louis Hansen while considering options to address linebacker issues, including a possible reunion with cornerback Ka'dar Hollman. The team will continue to monitor player health as they prepare for their next matchup.
