Here’s everything DeMeco Ryans said following the Houston Texans’ Week 16 showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

During the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season, CJ Stroud and DeMeco Ryans saw a key Houston Texans player get injured.

It's no secret that the Texans' interior offensive line has struggled mightily, particularly at the guard position. That's not a great recipe when preparing to face Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones.

Houston Texans wideout Tank Dell went down during the third quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, and was later ruled out with a serious knee injury. It was a somber moment inside Arrowhead Stadium, and one that affected Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud particularly profoundly.

It's the second season-ending injury Dell has sustained in his two years in the NFL. As a rookie in 2023, Dell suffered a fractured fibula in Week 13 and missed the Texans' final three games. He also was wounded in a shooting in Florida this spring but worked his way back and was ready to suit up by Week 1.

In the short term, the Texans will try to replace Dell’s production with contributions from John Metchie III, Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson, who have combined for 42 catches, 416 yards (9.9 average) and one touchdown.

Houston Texans receiver Tank Dell reportedly tore multiple ligaments and sustained meniscus damage in his injured left knee in addition to damage that's been previously noted. On Monday, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters that Dell tore the ACL in his dislocated left knee.
