Tank Dell's return is insurance but offers different skills than injured Higgins.

Hopeful return is viewed as an insurance policy for the Texans following Jayden Higgins' ACL injury, but Dell and Higgins are characterized as different skill sets within Houston's receiving corps. Dell's role differs from what Higgins provided, suggesting he cannot be a direct replacement.
