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.

Metchie continues a trend for Howie Roseman and the Eagles: adding a player with draft pedigree and stockpiling SEC talent.

The Philadelphia Eagles are acquiring wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans, according to multiple reports. Metchie, a four-year veteran of the league, will be playing in only his third year of action after sitting out his rookie season.

The weather is cooling somewhat, and thank goodness. Philadelphia Eagles head coach spent about 14 minutes with the local media. He complimented the recently promoted Kevin Patullo. Discussions about the offensive line and swing tackles were on the menu.

The Eagles’ 22-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday appeared to aid some bubble players in their quests to land spots. Others still have more to prove before solidifying their places.
