The Houston Texans are sending love to wide receiver Tank Dell after the second-year receiver appeared to suffer a significant knee injury in Saturday's game vs. the Chiefs.
Dell hauled in a 30-yard touchdown from C.J. Stroud but was rolled into by a teammate as he made the catch.
The 25-year-old appeared to be in a lot of pain and eventually had to be carted off the field with a brace on his knee. His teammates were extremely emotional seeing him go down for a second straight season.
"We love you, @Tankdell4," the Texans posted to their X account.

Fans also sent their best to Houston's star in his mentions.
"Just a terrible, gruesome injury to watch. Praying for complete healing and recovery," Heidi Watney said.
"I hope he gets the treatment he needs right away and is able to recover successfully. That is one of the worst injuries I have ever seen," a user replied.
"Prayers up for Tank Dell you could see what he means to stroud and the others. Hopefully he has a swift full recovery!!" another commented.
"This kid is so beloved by that whole organization and city."
"Such a brutal Injury, prayers to him," another fan shared.
"WIN IT FOR TANK," a Texans fan called for.
Dell's injury was certainly a tough one to watch. Let's hope he's able to make a full recovery and get back to being the talented pass-catcher he's shown himself to be over his first 24 games.
Prior to the injury he had torched Kansas City's defense for six catches, 98 yards and a TD.
