Houston Texans defensive end Dylan Horton posted a video of himself ringing the bell on Thursday, signifying his last radiation treatment after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"Glory to God. Final Treatment," Horton tagged the video, which was posted to Instagram Story.

Horton stepped away from the Texans on Nov. 22, citing a "personal matter" as the Texans were preparing to play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. He later learned Dec. 1 that he had Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma.

After being a surprise success story last season, the Houston Texans won't catch anyone off guard in 2024.

After capturing the AFC South title and winning a playoff game, the Texans are going into next season with huge expectations. They've added Stefon Diggs, Joe Mixon and Danielle Hunter this offseason.

"Oh yeah, it's going to be dangerous, real dangerous, man," wide receiver Nico Collins said. "Adding Diggs to the room, it's going to be a lot of weapons. There's going to be great opportunities for everybody. It's only adding more depth, more weapons to the offense, more weapons to the team. The sky is the limit for us. Can't wait until the season is going to start. Man, it's nice. I feel like the offense is a lot of weapons. Everybody has got a chance. When the ball is in their hands, an explosive play is coming. I feel like, for us, we need to continue to work on the details, continue to be us, continue to have fun and show the world what we can do. I can't wait for it."

The Houston Texans have acquired wide receiver Ben Skowronek and a 2026 seventh-round selection from the Los Angeles Rams for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

Skowronek was a seventh-round pick in the 2021 draft and is entering the last year of his contract. 

Skowronek's offensive playing time dwindled from 82% in 2022 to 19% last season as he finished with 66 yards on eight catches. 

J.J. Watt is keeping the door slightly ajar on a possible NFL return if the Houston Texans need him, but this is the final year he'll say that.

Watt, who retired after the 2022 season, made his comments Saturday as he hosted his annual charity softball game in Houston.

"I'm a very fortunate, lucky man, I have a beautiful wife, I have a beautiful son. I've had 12 great years in this league and I'm very thankful to have walked away healthy and playing great," he told reporters. "I told DeMeco [Ryans] last year: 'Don't call unless you absolutely need it, but, if you ever do call, I'll be there.' And he knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it. This is the last year I'll tell him that, because I'm not going to keep training [the way] I've been training."
