Dealt to Philadelphia The Texans are trading Metchie to the Eagles on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported.

Impact Metchie has played a rotational role in the Texans' offense over the past two seasons after missing his entire rookie campaign due to illness. The 2022 second-round pick caught 24 of 37 targets for 254 yards over 13 regular-season games last year, and it looked like he was in line to open the regular season as Houston's No. 3 wide receiver, as there's still no timetable on when wideout Tank Dell will return after suffering a significant knee injury last December. Instead, his departure should open up more opportunities for the Texans' rookie wideouts with second-rounder Jayden Higgins and third-rounder Jaylin Noel. Meanwhile, Metchie will likely compete with Johnny Wilson for a role behind returning wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring), DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson in Philadelphia.

Former Alabama receiver part of 'tight competition' with Texans John Metchie III led the NFL team’s receivers in its preseason opener.

AUGUST 12, 2025 • AL.COM

Comes up big in preseason opener Metchie caught five of eight targets for 45 yards while adding 23 yards on one kickoff return in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.

Impact With Nico Collins and Christian Kirk both held out of the lineup, Metchie got the start and made a quick impact, catching an 18-yard strike from Davis Mills in the first quarter to help set up the Texans' only touchdown of the day. Rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel are the favorites to claim the No. 3 spot on the depth chart to open the regular season, but if the youngsters don't seem ready, Metchie -- a one-time top prospect in his own right who was a second-round pick in 2022 -- might find himself in a bigger role than expected.

Impact Metchie, a 2022 second-round pick, missed his entire rookie campaign due to illness, and has since carved out a rotational role on on offense with the Texans. There was opportunity for Metchie to earn more significant opportunities on offense in 2024, with both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) sidelined down the stretch, but even with expanded target volume the former Alabama standout struggled to to efficiently produce. He's now heading into the final year of his rookie deal with Houston.

FEBRUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited production on eight targets Metchie recorded four receptions on eight targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Metchie's day got off to a rough start, as he fumbled after a seven-yard reception on Houston's first offensive play of the game. He recovered to tie for the team lead with eight targets, though he was inefficient with his opportunity and also tallied a long catch of only 10 yards. He should maintain a key role throughout Houston's postseason run with both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) sidelined for the long term.

JANUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Active Saturday Metchie (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.

Impact Metchie got a concussion check last Sunday at Tennessee, but a shoulder injury ultimately didn't allow him to practice Tuesday before progressing to limited Wednesday and a full session Thursday. Despite receiving a questionable tag for the Texans' playoff opener, he'll be available to the Texans offense Saturday. Since fellow WR Tank Dell (torn ACL) joined Stefon Diggs (torn ACL) as out for the season Week 16, Metchie produced a 7-72-0 line on 12 targets over the final two games of the regular season.

JANUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Full practice, but questionable Metchie (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers after practicing fully Thursday.

Impact Metchie, who was listed as a non-participant Tuesday, was limited Wednesday and closed out the Texans' practice week with a full session Thursday, which bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's 4:30 ET kickoff. If, however, Metchie ends up limited or out versus Los Angeles, added snaps behind top wideout Nico Collins would be available for some combination of Robert Woods, Diontae Johnson and Xavier Hutchinson.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Metchie (shoulder) returned to a limited practice Wednesday.

Impact After missing Tuesday's practice, Metchie's return a day later, albeit in a limited capacity, bodes well for his availability for Saturday's playoff opener against the Chargers. With that in mind, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston previously noted that the wideout is expected to play this weekend, though Metchie may need to practice fully Thursday in order to avoid an injury designation.

JANUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice with shoulder issue Metchie didn't practice Tuesday due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Metchie was forced out late in the third quarter of this past Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans after taking a hit to the upper-body area from Titans defensive back Daryl Worley and was sent in for a concussion check. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Metchie passed all concussion testing, but he apparently injured his shoulder on the hit. He'll have two more opportunities to potentially get in some on-field work before the Texans decide whether he takes a designation into Saturday's wild-card game versus the Chargers. Metchie finished the regular season with 24 catches for 254 yards and one touchdown on 37 targets over 13 games.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Getting concussion check Metchie is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Impact Metchie was on the receiving end of a big hit from Titans safety Daryl Worley late in the third quarter that drew a flag for unnecessary roughness. The wide receiver was able to walk to the sideline of his own volition but went straight to the sideline tent. If Metchie is diagnosed with a concussion, he'll end Week 18 with two catches (on three targets) for 24 yards.

JANUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns with elevated role Metchie (shoulder) had five receptions on eight targets for 48 yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Metchie returned from a one-game layoff to find himself in an elevated role in the passing game sans starter Tank Dell (knee). The 24-year-old Metchie led the Texans in targets Wednesday while setting a new personal high through 12 active games this season. Metchie's increased usage should put him on the map in deeper formats in Houston's regular-season finale against the Titans next Sunday.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as full Monday Metchie (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on Monday's injury report.

Impact Metchie didn't practice last week before being ruled out ahead of this past Saturday's game at Kansas City. Since then, he followed Sunday's limited listing with an upgrade to all activity one day later, indicating he's past the shoulder injury that sidelined him Week 16. Prior to the recent absence, Metchie had recorded at least one catch in five consecutive contests en route to a 13-146-1 line on 18 targets during that stretch.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as limited Sunday Metchie (shoulder) was listed as limited on Sunday's practice estimate, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The Texans played the Chiefs on Saturday, so the team didn't actually hold a practice a day later. In any case, the status of Metchie -- who was inactive against Kansas City -- gains added import ahead of Wednesday's game against the Ravens, given that fellow wideout Tank Dell is in line to miss time with a knee injury.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday vs. Kansas City Metchie (shoulder) did not practice Thursday and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Metchie was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury he suffered against the Dolphins this past Sunday. With Metchie ruled out for Saturday's game, his next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Ravens. Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson are the top candidates to serve as the Texans' No. 3 wide receiver behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell on Saturday due to Metchie's injury.
