A

Dell made his return to action after missing nearly two full years while recovering from a dislocated kneecap and a series of torn ligaments in his left knee. The wide receiver was on the field for only 11 offensive plays, but he made the most of his one target. Dell reeled in a deep ball from C.J. Stroud in the second quarter, churning out a 43-yard gain. With Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel (toe) and Kayshon Boutte also in the mix at wide receiver, Dell may have a hard time getting many looks each week.
