The Houston Texans will gladly bring one of their players back to the fold.
Defensive end Dylan Horton, who has been battling stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma for the past six months, appeared to have successfully overcome the disease.
The 23-year-old rang the bell after undergoing his final treatment for the blood cancer on Thursday, May 16, as posted on his Instagram Stories.
Horton previously disclosed in March that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma and that it was in remission.

"On December 1, 2023, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Through God's grace, I'm blessed to say that I'm currently in remission! I am grateful for the love from my family and friends, and support from the Texans organization and my doctors," the Frisco, Texas native said in a statement released by the team.
Dylan Horton managed to play 10 games in 2023
Horton was able to participate in ten of the Texans' 17 regular season games during his debut season before stepping away in late November due to his health situation, which he initially did not disclose.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound defensive end recorded eight solo tackles, five assists, and one fumble recovery in those ten games in 2023.
The former New Mexico and TCU standout was selected by Houston in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft with the 109th overall pick.
