Metchie caught one of two targets for four yards in Thursday's 21-17 preseason loss to the Bears.
Metchie, who was in the starting lineup, finished behind Xavier Hutchinson (six targets) and Ben Skowronek (four) as a target. Houston kept its top wide receivers out of the game, and these three figure to battle for the final two spots on the depth chart with Robert Woods and Noah Brown (undisclosed).
