Who Should I Start? Tank Dell or Isaiah Williams

Thursday, October 9, 11:55 AM

The Houston Texans have yet to make an indication that wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) will return any time soon. Dell sustained a gruesome knee injury late last season, and there has been no update on his status. The sentiment surrounding the 25-year-old was that he'd likely miss the entirety of the 2025 season. While no news is good news -- insinuating that he hasn't had a setback in his recovery -- it's still a long shot that he'd be able to make his way back to the field by the end of the campaign. As of now, teammates Christian Kirk and Xavier Hutchinson will continue to operate behind the team's WR1, Nico Collins. However, rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins could begin to push the veterans for playing time.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaiah Williams caught all four of his targets for a total of 35 yards during Thursday's preseason loss against the New York Giants. Undrafted out of Illinois, Williams is now firmly in the mix for a depth role after a solid showing in Week 1 of the preseason. He showcased considerable quickness and change of direction skills in the loss, even earning a shoutout from head coach Dan Campbell following the game. Williams has less than one month (and two more games) to show the coaching staff why he's worthy of a coveted 53-man roster spot.
