Houston Texans defensive end Dylan Horton posted a video of himself on Thursday ringing the bell, signaling his last radiation treatment after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. Horton took a leave of absence from the team on Nov. 22 of last year, citing a "personal matter." He learned on Dec. 1 that he had Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. It put an end to Horton's rookie season in the NFL in 2023, but he issued a statement in March that he was in remission and was trending in a positive direction with hopes of eventually returning to play for Houston. Horton was a fourth-round pick last year out of TCU. In his 10 games played for the Texans last year before learning of his cancer diagnosis, Horton had 13 tackles (one for loss) and two QB hits.

Houston Texans defensive end Dylan Horton announced on Monday that he had Stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma, but it is now in remission. He stepped away from the team in Week 12 during his rookie season in 2023, citing a "personal matter" on Nov. 22. Horton said on Monday that he learned of his cancer diagnosis on Dec. 1, and he didn't play again the rest of the season. The 23-year-old is trending in a positive direction now, though, and that he's focused on getting healthy and eventually returning to football. Before his cancer diagnosis, the fourth-round pick out of TCU had 13 tackles (one for loss) and two QB hits in 10 games for the Texans last year. It remains to be seen if Horton will be ready for training camp this summer or the start of the regular season this fall.
