HOUSTON — Houston Texans receiver Tank Dell will miss the remainder of the season after dislocating a knee and tearing an ACL in a loss to Kansas City on Saturday. Coach DeMeco Ryans revealed the details of his injury Monday before announcing that Dell would have season-ending surgery for a second straight year. He fractured his fibula in Week 13 against the Broncos as a rookie last season and had surgery on it the following day. “He dislocated the knee, he tore the ACL, other things there he’ll have to get repaired," Ryans said. “So he’ll be out for the year.” Ryans didn't have a date for Dell's surgery for this injury, but said it would be soon. Dell was injured on a 30-yard touchdown catch in Houston’s 27-19 loss Saturday. He was coming across the back of the end zone and made the spectacular catch on a pass from C.J. Stroud before colliding with Houston teammate Jared Wayne on the way to the ground. Dell immediately grabbed at his knee and Wayne signaled for team trainers, who spent several minutes working on the wide receiver while teammates waited anxiously. Dell was eventually placed on a stretcher and driven in a covered medical cart off the field, and then he was taken to the hospital. He stayed in the hospital overnight before flying back to Houston on Sunday. Stroud, who is so close to Dell that he considers him a brother, cried the entire time the receiver was down on the field and for a while after he was taken away. “It was just not easy for me to sit there and be emotional,” Stroud said Monday. “But it’s something that we all go through in life and it’s easy to be a fake tough guy. It’s easy to go through life acting like everything doesn’t affect you, but deep down we all know we’re going through something.” Some criticized Stroud for crying. But he believes a display of emotion such as that was important to remind people of the human aspect of this game and the toll it can take on players. “It’s good for young men and women out there, kids who are brought up — and I was taught this too as a kid, not from my parents but just from the world, don’t let anybody see you emotional,” he said. “Don’t let anybody see you down and yeah there’s some truth to that in in certain aspects, but there’s also life and I think it was good for people to see me in that light and knowing that there is still a human factor to me and I’m a normal person.” Aaron Rodgers is still contemplating his playing future. The star quarterback knows if he returns to the field, it might be out of hands whether it's with the New York Jets. The 41-year-old Rodgers said last week that he'll take some time after this season, his 20th in the NFL, to determine what he wants to do next. On Monday, he suggested a decision on whether he'll return with the Jets could be made for him the day after the team's regular-season finale. “I think there’s a world where they just say, ‘Hey, thank you, we’re going to go in another direction’ on Jan. 6,” Rodgers said during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “That’s a possibility,” he added. "I think there’s also a possibility we’re going to wait and see who the new staff is.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!NATO and Ukraine to hold emergency talks after Russian attack with hypersonic missile

Called " Conversations with Rizal ," the AI agent features Gonzales’ voice as the Philippine National Hero. It launches on Rizal Day, and will initially be available for three months. The AI version of Rizal is able to talk to users and interact with them in Tagalog, English, German, and many more languages, just like the famed polyglot. According to Amazon Web Services , an AI Agent is “a software program that can interact with its environment, collect data, and use the data to perform self-determined tasks to meet predetermined goals.” The project was 20 years in the making, with Gonzales pouring out his passion and money to allow users to have a conversation with Rizal. GMA News Online spoke with Gonzales about this passion project, what it means to him, and hopefully, to every Filipino. Conversations with Rizal The AI Rizal is able to speak about his life experiences, and his novels like “Noli Me Tangere” and “El Filibusterismo.” The project took 20 years in the making, beginning with Gonzales’ self-studies of AI starting from the early days of the Internet. “Dun ako nagkaroon ng interest. Sabi ko one day, I want to create, I want to put my voice in artificial intelligence so that many people can use it.” According to Gonzales, he did not compromise the accuracy of Rizal’s life. For the AI initiative, he poured over books about and written by the National Hero. The project’s content is based on these as well as Rizal’s diaries. Gonzales also did the programming and coding of Conversations with Rizal with the help of CreatiVoices Labs, the company he founded that combines “advanced AI with voice artistry, offering ethical, lifelike voices and top audio solutions for media and beyond.” When the tool is opened, users can ask Rizal to speak Tagalog, English, Spanish, and other languages the hero was fluent in like Japanese and German. As the voice, Gonzales learns the languages and records himself, speaking the way he imagines the hero would sound like in real life, with the Spanish style of speaking in Tagalog and the Laguna accent. Gonzales recorded the voice in 2014 when he was 35 years old, just like Jose Rizal when he died. According to Gonzales, Rizal has been his personal hero since childhood and looks at Conversations with Rizal as a way for him to honor his hero. Calling Rizal his "mentor," Gonzales said his nationalism, education, and youth empowerment are values he also tries to live with. Gonzales also made sure that users will respect the AI Rizal, limiting the tool’s knowledge to Rizal’s real-life experiences during his time. “Limited lang niya sa kung ano alam niya. Hindi siya ‘yung masyadong matalino na lahat alam," he said. "Wala siyang opinyon sa lahat, ibig sabihin. May opinyon lang siya sa mga bagay na nakakaapekto sa kanya.” For example, when the AI tool is asked a personal question such as “How do I deal with stress?” Rizal will speak about his past experiences and give advice based on those. The AI does not provide comments on today’s political climate, modern pop culture, and the like. “Hindi mo siyang maloloko. Sabihin niyang, ‘I cannot answer that because I’m not part of your world,’” Gonzales explained. He hopes to open donations to maintain the project after its three-month period. He also aims to partner with the Department of Education, the Commission on Higher Education, and institution schools to allow students to use the tool in classes. “Excited ako dito para sa kabataang Pilipino,” Gonzales said. The VoiceMaster Gonzales is dubbed the VoiceMaster of the project. His artistic journey started from childhood. With no television in their home, Gonzales grew up being entertained by the radio, and impersonating all the various voices he would hear. As he grew older, Gonzales continued learning about the artistry as a triple major in Speech Communication, Theater Arts, and English Creative Writing at the University of the Philippines Diliman. This was also where he had a more in-depth experience learning about Philippine history. Gonzales’ decades-long career spans a variety of ads, dubbing, reporting, and acting roles on television and radio. With influences from renowned Filipino impersonators like Willie “Willie Nep” Nepomuceno, Neil Ocampo, and Willy Sarion, Gonzales can likewise act like politicians President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, former Presidents Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, Rodrigo Duterte, and many more. Gonzales can also impersonate the voices of Dolphy Quizon, Fernando Poe Jr., Babalu, and many more. Gonzales was one of the voices of Kiko Matsing on “Batibot,” PenPen on “Makulay ng Buhay,” and the title characters on “Bubu Chacha,” among many others. His personal favorite role was as Shancai’s father in the Philippine dub of “Meteor Garden.” He also has experience in AI voicing, and is heard in the narration of users’ Instagram Reels and TikToks. Gonzales is also a mentor and conducts workshops, and said he is “the man behind a thousand voices.” He guided Dingdong Dantes for his voice role in “Kubot,” coached Daniel Matsunaga’s Tagalog speaking skills, and trained former Philippine Vice President Jejomar “Jojo” Binay in public speaking. Purpose Though he is already an industry veteran, Gonzales’ purpose remains clear. “I believe that our voice is a gift from God, and it’s how we use it, it’s our gift back to God,” he said. “Without our voice, we are nothing. Binigyan tayo ng Diyos ng libreng boses, libreng buhay. Ibalik natin sa Diyos ‘yan ng tama.” Gonzales adds that he loves what he does. “Because for me, if you love what you’re doing, it’s as if you’re already resting all your life. You’re not going to work a single day because you love what you’re doing.” He added, “I treat voice acting as an art and I use my voice to create positive social change.” His purpose, in turn, is what guided him into the Conversations with Rizal initiative.

Don Lemon was caught in a verbal war against a TikToker over Elon Musk’s influence on President-elect Donald Trump . The ex-CNN host spoke to various people in New York City over the weekend about the claim Democrats were pushing that the X CEO was the shadow “President Musk” over Trump based on Musk leading an online conservative opposition to a bipartisan deal to avoid a partial government shutdown. “Who is the real president-elect, you think?” Lemon asked. “Donald Trump won, I believe,” TikToker and former pro-soccer player Will John replied . “Democratic lawmakers in Washington are calling Elon Musk now, and they’re saying Donald Trump is the vice president or the head of communication,” Lemon followed up. “What? Wait a second, no. No one said that,” John said. Lemon interrupted, “Really? Have you not paid attention—” “Absolutely not. I’m paying attention to what I’m doing during my day, so I can try and get a better life and get ahead,” John said. Lemon then told John to look up “President Musk” on his phone to prove his point, to which John obliged. “That’s already a loaded question you realize,” John remarked while looking. John found reports from Axios, Business Insider, ABC News, Washington Post, New York Times and The Atlantic using the term “President Musk,” which Lemon considered a win. “We don’t trust any of these. The common man doesn’t trust any of this,” John fired back. “I don’t trust any of these. I don’t trust any of them. I don’t trust any of these. We’re the common man. We don’t trust any of these. No one trusts the government. No one trusts the common news. We don’t trust any of that anymore. Independent news, we are the ones that own the news now. People trust me. They don’t trust MSNBC because I care, and I’m actually one of them.” “I can’t disagree with you,” Lemon admitted. Lemon asked other pedestrians the same question to mixed results on his TikTok account. “I haven’t seen that personally. I think that’s odd that he’s in that position of power for people to call him that. I don’t know if he is the best person to be representing us in our government,” one woman responded. “I mean that’s just internet chatter,” another woman said. “I think Elon Musk wasn’t in the last election, so how could he be president-elect?” A third woman said, “Well, not in an election-style, but obviously he’s influencing the government.” “How much longer do you think Donald Trump is going to put up with someone calling Elon Musk President Musk?” Lemon followed up. “Forever. He’s putting money out there. He likes money,” the woman replied. A man said he had actually heard the term “President Musk,” though he argued Musk was the vice president-elect while Trump was still president-elect. However, he said that will change. “He’s lost. He’s gone. Musk is even worse, cheerleading this guy on like, politically, man. It’s over. Life in America is over. Just watch what they do,” he said. Several liberal media pundits like Lemon also insisted Musk was either co-president or president himself over Trump. “Elon Musk, the guy who really runs things. He’s not just Trump’s co-president. I think that’s way too low a title,” MSNBC’s Chris Hayes said during his monologue on Wednesday. “He’s the head dude in charge and House Republicans certainly know who they are taking their marching orders from.” In a statement to Fox News Digital, Trump-Vance Transition spokeswoman and incoming press secretary Karoline Leavitt threw cold water on the media talking point. “As soon as President Trump released his official stance on the CR, Republicans on Capitol Hill echoed his point of view. President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop,” she said. Fox News’ Nikolas Lanum contributed to this report.
