Metchie caught five of eight targets for 45 yards while adding 23 yards on one kickoff return in Houston's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings in Week 1. Philadelphia officially announced the move on Monday, reuniting Metchie with DeVonta Smith and other former Alabama teammates.
The Houston Texans made a trade this past week to deal wide receiver John Metchie III to the Philadelphia Eagles, paired with a sixth-round pick, in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a fifth-round pick.
The Eagles traded for Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie on Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Metchie could become the team’s No. 4 WR this season. Johnny Wilson, Darius Cooper and Ainias Smith have each played well during training camp, but it wasn’t enough to stop Philadelphia from adding more depth.
