Dell sustained a broken fibula during the Texans' Week 13 victory over the Denver Broncos, which required season-ending surgery on Dec. 4. At the time of the injury, the then-rookie-receiver had recorded 709 yards on 47 catches and seven touchdowns across 10 games.

Coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Dell was in attendance during the first day of voluntary workouts on April 15 while expressing his excitement amid his return.

Despite missing the final nine games of the season, Dell has established himself as a prominent part of the Texans' future.
