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.

John Metchie III approached the line of scrimmage with the first-team offense about 70 minutes into his first practice with the Eagles.

“Of note: Metchie is fielding punts during STs drills. That’s not something in his background — no punt returns at Alabama, in NFL,” reported Zach Berman of The Athletic on X, formerly Twitter.
