Seems David was diagnosed with lymphoma and has left for treatment.

Wish him well with speedy full. Recovery.

Same here. TCU OL Marcus Cannon was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (the same as Quessenberry, I believe) right before the 2011 draft. The Patriots took him in the fifth round and he started his rookie year on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list. By October his cancer was in full remission and he was activated and playing that November. Every situation is different, but hopefully it goes as well for David.

John Harris on Quess and day 8 OTA's

............I've mentioned the three tackles that the team signed post-draft. Bryan Witzmann from South Dakota State, Matt Fieler from Bloomsburg and Anthony Dima from UMass, who the Texans signed off of waivers after rookie mini-camp. I wouldn't expect a starter from that group, but I would now expect one of those three guys, at a minimum, to make the 53-man roster, given the upheaval at that position. Yes, the team must sign a veteran but there's not a tackle Walmart out there where you can just pluck a 6-5, 305 lb. man off the shelf for future use. Heck, there's not even an OL Quicky Mart convenience store and that's just an unfortante fact of life; I'd go there to shop every day, but I'm a football goofball.

Anyhow, if timing works in the Texans favor in the slightest, they can sign someone this week, have him in for mandatory mini-camp and give him five weeks to learn the basics of the playbook prior to training camp. That's the good news, slight though it may be, in a day wrought with a ton of bad.

Get well, David.

Texans stand behind Quessenberry; hope to raise $100,000 for lymphoma
Quote:
The Texans’ organization backed the push Saturday, announcing a drive to raise $100,000 in Quessennberry’s name for the Lymphoma Research Foundation.

The effort is being guided by center Chris Myers and left tackle Duane Brown, who are close friends of Quessenberry’s.

“You sit back and think about David Quessenberry dealing with what he has to deal with and we have no complaints in the world,” Myers said. “With everything going on with David right now, this season is obviously going to be dedicated to him.”

Coaches and team personnel wore “Texans for DQ” T-shirts Saturday at practice.

The Texans’ final open practice of training camp Aug. 14 will be #DQStrong Day. All staff will wear the shirt and the Texans are encouraging fans and the Houston community to purchase a shirt and wear it with the team.

Shirts are on sale at the Go Texans Store at NRG Stadium and online at shop.houstontexans.com for $20.
