Houston Texans offensive lineman David Quessenberry made his regular-season NFL debut on Christmas Day against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Quessenberry fought non-Hodgkin T-lymphoblastic lymphoma for three years before finishing his treatments in the spring. He was promoted to Houston's active roster last week, according to NFL.com's Chris Wesseling.

The 2013 sixth-round pick was named a captain for Monday's game and saw action as an extra blocker in the Texans' "jumbo" packages.
