Overview
- GM Nick Caserio said Monday that Tank Dell is day to day and that the team expects a clearer read on his availability later in the spring heading into training camp.
- He added that Houston will take a wideout if the value is there, saying any receiver pick will be made independent of Dell’s rehab and that competition will decide roles.
- Caserio put the tight end room under review, citing real question marks even with Dalton Schultz and depth options such as Cade Stover, Brevin Jordan, and Foster Moreau.
- He stressed a best‑player‑available approach at every spot except quarterback, with C.J. Stroud, Davis Mills, and Graham Mertz under contract and Mills in a contract year that Heavy reported could draw trade interest.
- Dell has not played since a severe Week 16, 2024 knee injury and missed all of 2025, and his prior 98 catches, 1,376 yards, and 10 touchdowns highlight why his eventual return could lift the offense.
