With Nico Collins out to take on the New England Patriots, it'd sure be nice for the Houston Texans if they had their explosive wide receiver Tank Dell on the field.
But he hasn't played the entire season.
That isn't changing in the playoffs, either, and it has Texans fans frustrated and confused.

What happened to Tank Dell?
The speedy Dell dislocated his left kneecap and tore ligaments in that knee in December of last season.
Dell turned 26 earlier this season, but he didn't get to celebrate his birthday on the field.
Through 25 NFL games, Dell has 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Is Tank Dell coming back this season?
There hasn't been an update suggesting anything positive.
At this point, it seems Dell won't play at all in this campaign.
It combines with Joe Mixon's season-long absence to be particularly frustrating for a Houston team that still has a lot of offensive weapons but is missing a couple crucial ones, too.
