T.Y. Hilton makes season debut for Colts against Texans with 52-yard grab from Carson Wentz

The Ghost is back.

Colts wide receiver and Texans tormentor T.Y. Hilton made his season debut Sunday, drawing a loud cheer from the crowd with a 52-yard reception early in the second quarter.

Hilton missed the first five games of the season recovering from neck surgery. Pain in the days following surgery caused Hilton to consider an abrupt retirement.

“The first two days out of surgery, I didn’t think I’d be back, man, to be honest with you," Hilton said. "It was just painful. It was very painful. I hope nobody has to go through that at all.
