Texans' David Quessenberry, battling lymphoma, says he's in remission

Now here's something to warm your heart during these chilly months.

Houston Texans offensive lineman David Quessenberry, who announced last June he had been diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma, said Wednesday that things are looking great in his battle.

Quessenberry made an appearance at the Texas Children’s Hospital with some Texans teammates when he gave the update of his condition. He also reiterated it with a celebratory post on Twitter.

After we read about the details of his struggle in this wonderfully written story from ESPN's Tania Ganguli right before Christmas, we've been keeping track of Quessenberry's fight.

And this was great word to hear on his amazing progress.

As for whether Quessenberry can return to the field, well, he says it remains his goal to do just that. His teammates have rallied around him and provided him the support he needs. But for now, he's already winning — no matter what happens with his career.
