I have not heard a peep about his issues. I thought he looked very promising in the games he played in.

Has anyone heard any updates on Dylan Horton?

He's still listed as "Reserved/Non-Football Illness" whatever that means

I'm guessing he's dealing with a serious enough medical and/or mental situation that wasn't caused by football and not treatable by the team's medical staff

I thought maybe those on this forum that are tuned into the "Twitterverse"may have heard rumors of what was going on. Or if he will every play again.

I really like the guy but have heard nothing. Due to shut down of all info, I am guessing it's mental.
You and I think a lot alike it seems.
You should be afraid, be very afraid.
Most likely we will never know if the silence is due for privacy reasons

Usually you can find some leaked info, but I couldn't find anything. Makes me think it might be something serious.

AbM set it up on a tee for this. Was it intentional?

im old man. Grew up in the 60s and 70s. Horton hears a who is old school children’s story stuff. Do todays kids even know about Horton or some of these other children’s fables? I remember my Mom reading the story about the kids that knocked on the wrong door, and ended up being cooked in a cauldron. Fun times. Now days, parents would probably call that child abuse and cover their ears and eyes lol.
But do you remember the kids name and who cooked them and where they were?

This is from a month ago. From what I've been able to find and from what it sounds like it's a mental issue. Could be anything, from depression to any mental disorder such as bi-polar or similar. It also could be family related. However, from the articles I found that doesn't seem to fit.

Rookie DE Dylan Horton to be out for indefinite period of time
Houston Texans Defensive End Dylan Horton released a statement Wednesday afternoon explaining that he would miss an indefinite period of time.

I think that was reported from the start. When Horton returns, he returns. Don't see the need for speculation here.

Maybe not put in a cauldron, however today people knock on doors and get shot.

Speculation is what people do. I'm sure you have not forgotten the Deshaun Watson threads that still continue today?
No speculation around these parts
He's a POS, may even more women come forward. You seem to want everybody to forget about this. I hope that thread goes on for as long as he's in the NFL.

I do. I’m tired of spending my energy on him. I’m going to hope that justice is served but I’m going to spend -my- time going forward on something else. Don’t forget… he also hurt us. Letting go is part of healing for me.
To each their own. I believe everyday his character needs to be besmirched. Never let him off of the hook for the terrible things he's done.

Horton had been diagnosed and treated as stage IV Hodgkins Lymphoma......and is now in remission.
Dylan Horton shares Hodgkin's Lymphoma diagnosis, currently in remission
"I am grateful for the love from my family and friends, and support from the Texans organization and my doctors. My next objective is to complete my treatments, then get back to playing the game that I love," Horton said.

I've been asked about Horton's prognosis.
He was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkins lymphoma. In early stages, it is quite curable. When you get to stage IV, less so. Five year survival in most studies is ~65-70% (unfortunately there are no studies that take survival rates out to 10 years). If remission is attained, more than half of recurrences occur within two years of the primary treatment. Up to 90% of recurrences happen before the five-year mark. The occurrence of relapse after 10 years is rare. After 15 years, developing lymphoma is the same as its risk in the normal population. Even with a recurrence, with further treatment, many people with Hodgkins lymphoma go on to live long lives. One last factor that these patients have to be aware of is that they have a 20-30% "lifetime" risk of developing a secondary cancer.
Horton was diagnosed on Dec 1, 2023.........his chemotherapy will be at least 6 cycles, which is usually 1 month per cycle. Radiation therapy may be added to this regimen. Football is not in his future this year and unlikely next year. The specifically aggressive chemotherapy regimen for the late stage of this disease takes a particularly signficant toll on the body, and will require great effort to build back up to a football player's strength/endurance/performance level. His youth and baseline health prior to diagnosis is a positive.
Returning back to health will be his main focus for quite a while.........no doubt, future return to football may act as an mental incentive for his recovery.
Prayers for the young man.

Get well young man and prayers up for your full and complete recovery. Football will be there for you when the time comes.
