Almost immediately after making the catch, the second-year receiver remained down in obvious pain. He appeared to have sustained a serious knee injury while getting caught up with teammate Jared Wayne and a Chiefs defender.

Texans players gathered around Dell and prayed over him, as Stroud was visibly shaken by Dell’s injury and even brought to tears as he watched on.
