Eagles' John Metchie: Another zero-catch game
Metchie saw the field for just three offensive snaps and did not catch a pass in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Despite trailing for the entirety of the second half, the Eagles rarely put enough wide receivers on the field for Metchie, the fourth wideout on the depth chart, to see any action. He now has a total of four catches across his first six games with the team.

Eagles' John Metchie: Season-high two catches
Metchie recorded two receptions for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-25 victory over Tampa Bay.
Metchie totaled two catches for eight yards across the first three games of the season, so Sunday's performance represented his best effort to date. He remains firmly the fourth receiver on the Eagles' depth chart, however, as he saw the field for just five offensive snaps compared to 31 for No. 3 wideout Jahan Dotson.

Eagles' John Metchie: One snap on offense in Eagles debut
Metchie wasn't targeted and had a 20-yard kickoff return in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.
Metchie played just one snap on offense while Jahan Dotson led the team with 59 receiving yards, suggesting that Dotson has a firm grasp on the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart over the trade acquisition from Houston. Metchie got a chance to contribute in the return game on special teams in the second half after kick returner Will Shipley (ribs) exited in the first half.

Eagles' John Metchie: One catch in preseason finale
Metchie caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.
Metchie made his Eagles debut after being acquired in a trade from the Texans on Sunday. With Philadelphia's preseason now concluded, Metchie is set to begin the regular season in a depth role, though Jahan Dotson didn't do much last season to cement himself as the No. 3 wide receiver behind A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (groin).

Eagles' John Metchie: Dealt to Philadelphia
The Texans are trading Metchie to the Eagles on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported.
In exchange, the Texans will acquire tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick while also sending a 2026 sixth-round pick to Houston, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Metchie has played a rotational role in Houston's offense since 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, second-rounder Jayden Higgins and third-rounder Jaylin Noel. Meanwhile, Metchie likely will compete with Johnny Wilson for a role behind returning wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring), DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson in Philadelphia.

Texans' John Metchie: 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.
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 preseason while Tank Dell (knee) remains out with a knee injury, 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.

Texans' John Metchie: Plays minor role on offense
Metchie secured 24 of 37 targets for 254 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games with the Texans in 2024. He also suited up for both of Houston's playoff games, securing six of 10 targets for 63 yards.
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 efficiently produce. He's now heading into the final year of his rookie deal with Houston.

Texans' John Metchie: 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.
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 due to both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) being sidelined for the long term.

Texans' John Metchie: Active Saturday
Metchie (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.
Metchie got a concussion check last Sunday at Tennessee, but a shoulder injury ultimately didn't allow him to practice Tuesday before he progressed 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.

Texans' John Metchie: Full practice, but questionable
Metchie (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers after practicing fully Thursday.
Metchie, who was listed as a non-participant Tuesday, was limited Wednesday and closed out the Texans' practice week with an uncapped session Thursday, which bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's 4:30 p.m. 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.

Texans' John Metchie: Limited in return to practice
Metchie (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
After missing Tuesday's practice, Metchie's return to the field a day later 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.

Texans' John Metchie: Misses practice with shoulder issue
Metchie didn't practice Tuesday due to a shoulder injury.
Metchie exited Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans in the third quarter after taking a hit from Daryl Worley, and the wideout was sent for a concussion check. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Metchie passed all concussion testing, but he apparently suffered a shoulder injury on the hit, leaving his status for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers up in the air. Metchie finished the regular season with 24 catches for 254 yards and one touchdown on 37 targets over 13 games.
