DeMeco Ryans said John Metchie's return from cancer was an inspiration to the team and predicts receiver will do well in Philadelphia.

The Houston Texans traded wide receiver John Metchie III to the Philadelphia Eagles for tight end Harrison Bryant, a move that also involved an unusual re-exchange of 2026 draft picks.

According to multiple reports, the Texans are sending Metchie to the defending Super Bowl champions in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick. The Eagles will also receive a 2026 sixth-round pick, which initially was sent over to Houston in the C.J. Gardner-Johnson deal earlier this offseason.
