HOUSTON — Houston's Dylan Horton took a few seconds to soak everything in after running out of the tunnel Sunday before his first game since recovering from late-stage cancer. "I was kind of taking in the moment, understanding that there's been a long journey to get here, but it's also just the start of where I want to be," he said. The defensive end, who returned to practice Wednesday, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes, on Dec. 1. He announced that he was in remission in March.
