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.

Former Texans receiver John Metchie participated in his first Eagles' practice on Tuesday and is already building chemistry with the quarterbacks.

The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly found a new way to utilize recently acquired wide receiver John Metchie III.
