The Houston Texans traded wide receiver John Metchie III to the Philadelphia Eagles, obtaining tight end Harrison Bryant and a fifth-round draft pick in return. The trade was necessitated by the Texans' need for tight end depth after Brevin Jordan's season-ending injury. Metchie, in his fourth NFL season, has 40 catches for 412 yards and one touchdown but has fallen to fifth on the depth chart. Bryant, who has six years of experience, adds reliability to the Texans' tight end roster. Metchie will join a strong receiving corps in Philadelphia, reuniting with former teammate DeVonta Smith.
