Injury Suffered serious knee injury in Week 16 loss to KC

DeMeco Ryans says it’s too early to put a timeline on whether Tank Dell will play in 2025.

He didn’t want to speculate on whether they’d need to find receiver because of that. But added they’d look to improve their team in all areas. (Jonathan Alexander on Twitter)

Nerdy Football Analysis: At the very least, Dell should not be expected to play for the first half of next season. Perhaps he can play a bit role late in the season – not unlike what Tyler Higbee did for the Rams this season – but even that seems unlikely given how serious Dell’s injury was. Houston will likely try hard to re-sign Stefon Diggs (ACL) and could even invest a Day 2 or early Day 3 draft pick into the position after John Metchie, Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson failed to distinguish themselves.

Injury Knee injury

Pro Bowl WR Zay Flowers is the only Ravens player not practicing Thursday.

Flowers hasn’t practiced since injuring his knee in the regular season finale 12 days ago.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Flowers missed the Ravens Wildcard game and is in danger of missing their Divisional Round matchup against the Bills. The Ravens used a run-heavy gameplan against the Steelers and could do the same this weekend if Flowers sits. We’ll have another update on Flowers after practice on Friday.

Diontae Johnson gets the ax

WR lasts three weeks with Houston

Nerdy Football Analysis: Johnson was seen pouting – presumably about lack of involvement – in the team’s Wild Card Round win over the Chargers. As a result, he is moving on from his fourth team in less than a year. The timing is still surprising considering the Texans need help at receiver with Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell both out for the season. After getting traded twice and waived twice in 10 months, Johnson may have no choice but to settle for a third receiver job at his next NFL stop.
