Texans OL David Quessenberry Completes Chemotherapy for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Houston Texans offensive lineman David Quessenberry completed his chemotherapy to treat non-Hodgkin T-lymphoblastic lymphoma on Tuesday, according to Sam Gardner of Fox Sports. Quessenberry is expected to compete for a job with the team, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Quessenberry was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin T-lymphoblastic lymphoma in June 2014. The lymphoma went into remission but the offensive lineman had to continue his treatments, which included chemotherapy. He had been hoping to return to the Texans in 2016 but the team ultimately decided against that return date before waiving him in May 2016.

He cleared waivers, however, and spent last season on the reserve/non-football injury list.

Texans head coach Bill O'Brien expressed the belief last May that Quessenberry could return to football after such a lengthy absence, per Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com:

"

I don't know if there's ever been somebody that's been out for four years, but if anybody can do it, it's David Quessenberry. This guy's a driven, driven guy. He has a passion for football. This guy has never missed a day other than when he's had to go have cancer treatments at the cancer center. He's here early, he stays late, he's helping teammates out, helping in the weight room, working out on his own. So if there's anybody that can come back and play, it's David Quessenberry.

"

Quessenberry also missed his rookie season due to a foot injury.
