Metchie caught his only target for five yards in Thursday's 20-9 preseason-opening win over the Patriots.
Metchie returned to action after missing his rookie year while battling leukemia. He caught a pass on Houston's touchdown drive to end the second quarter. While third-round wideout Tank Dell impressed with five catches for 65 yards and the aforementioned score, Metchie could compete with him for the No. 3 receiver job behind probable starters Nico Collins and Robert Woods.
