The Houston Texans are trying to complete their improbable playoff run, so they'll need all hands on deck when playing the Denver Broncos in Week 13.
That's why the latest news surrounding star wide receiver, Tank Dell, is as big as it is. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the rookie wideout is expected to play after dealing with a calf injury throughout the week.
The Texans already ruled out tight end Dalton Schultz, who had really started to come along over the last few weeks. Per Schefter, wide receiver Noah Brown is expected to play, as well.
The Broncos give up the 11th-most passing yards per game on the season, but the passing defense has really stepped up over the last few weeks. Vance Jospeh's unit is allowing just 183 passing yards per game over the last three games, which is seventh-fewest in the NFL.
Granted, two of the three opponents were the Joshua Dobbs-led Minnesota Vikings and the Dorian Thompson-Robinson-led Cleveland Browns. Neither team is known for its passing attack, but at the same time, NFL teams are supposed to shut down the bad teams and that's exactly what the Broncos did.
Regardless, Stroud will have two of his primary weapons on Sunday, which will go a long way toward winning this game.
