Houston's offensive tackle was one of many emotional players after Saturday's scary injury.
The Houston Texans sideline and subsequent postgame locker room was littered with emotional players Saturday afternoon after the gruesome dislocated kneecap suffered by wide receiver Tank Dell.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud was filmed crying on the sidelines in Kansas City after Dell's season-ending knee injury in the third quarter. Fellow wideout Xavier Hutchinson noted postgame the team's wide receiver room will be without its "light" with Dell now sidelined. Texans offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil took a wider view, considering Dell's injury alongside the season-ending blows to star wide receiver Stefon Diggs and standout defensive back Jalen Pitre.
"I feel like we're always in this position, losing one of our best guys," Tunsil told KPRC 2's
Aaron Wilson postgame after the 27-19 loss to the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. "I hope we're not cursed, but that's what it feels like. You got to keep your head up."
