John Metchie III Returns To Practice

John Metchie III Returns To Practice

one year ago

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (hamstring) returned to the practice field in a limited capacity on Wednesday. The Texans placed receiver Noah Brown (groin) on the short-term Injured Reserve on Wednesday, so over the next four games, Metchie and rookie Tank Dell will have an opportunity for bigger roles in the passing game behind starters Robert Woods and Nico Collins. The 23-year-old Metchie is just trying to be on the active gameday roster for his NFL debut after dealing with a nagging hamstring issue all offseason. Even if he's able to make his debut, Metchie cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups. The 23-year-old former second-round pick last year missed all of his rookie season after being diagnosed with leukemia.
