The Houston Texans have activated defensive end Dylan Horton from the reserve/non-football injured list, marking a significant comeback after his battle with late-stage Hodgkin lymphoma. Diagnosed in December, Horton announced his remission in March and returned to practice this week.

Head Coach DeMeco Ryans expressed excitement about Horton's return, praising his positive attitude throughout his illness. Horton, a fourth-round pick in the 2023 draft, previously played for New Mexico and TCU, and contributed notably in his rookie season.
