The Houston Texans have activated defensive end Dylan Horton from the reserve/non-football illness list after his battle with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Horton has been in remission since March and has re-joined the team, participating in practice this week.

Coach DeMeco Ryans praised Horton for his positive attitude throughout his ordeal. As a corresponding move, the Texans placed defensive end Jerry Hughes on injured reserve due to a hip injury.
