Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell suffered a gruesome knee injury during Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dell, who had just scored a touchdown, tore his ACL and dislocated his kneecap after colliding with a teammate.

Dell's injury is his second major leg injury in two NFL seasons, as he had previously broken his leg in an early-December game against the Denver Broncos last year.
