Emotional moment CJ Stroud is lost for words talking about Tank Dell after horror injury against the Chiefs
Share:
Texans quarterback CJ Stroud had to gather himself when asked about Tank Dell's terrifying injury in their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The pair connected for a 30-yard touchdown just before Dell collided with teammate Jared Wayne, who accidentally dove toward him and collided with his knee.
The wide receiver immediately held his knee as medical staff rushed onto the field, eventually carting Dell off the field and taking him to the University of Kansas Medical Center. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans later told reporters that Dell would be staying overnight at the hospital with a 'significant' knee injury.
After Houston lost the game, 27-19, at Arrowhead, Stroud was overcome with emotion at the postgame press conference. 'All you can do is really pray. End of the day, God still gets the glory,' he opened. 'No matter what happens to me, I'll be here cause of the grace of Jesus. The grace of who he is in my life and Tank's life.'.
'For anything, how it goes, left or right, up or down, I always have to praise my lord and savior. It's not easy but after that, I try to use it as motivation.'. #Texans QB CJ Stroud on losing WR Tank Dell mid game: pic.twitter.com/zrqNQmisUm.

Stroud immediately fell to tears after his teammate was carted off early in the third quarter. This would be the second straight season that Dell's campaign ended abruptly with an injury. Dell finished his 2023 rookie season with 709 yards and seven touchdowns for the Texans.
