Metchie caught five of eight targets for 45 yards while adding 23 yards on one kickoff return in Houston's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings in Week 1. Philadelphia officially announced the move on Monday, reuniting Metchie with DeVonta Smith and other former Alabama teammates.

The Philadelphia Eagles bolstered their wide receiver depth on Sunday, trading for fourth-year Houston Texans WR John Metchie III.

The star players on the trade block appear to be Micah Parsons, Trey Hendrickson, and Terry McLaurin.
