Two catches in win
Metchie caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Metchie played 15 snaps as the No. 4 wideout. He's gotten opportunities in the wake of Noah Brown's groin injury, but rookie Tank Dell isn't losing his grip on a starting role in three-wide sets following a five-catch, 145-yard, one-touchdown performance Sunday. Metchie remains ahead of Houston's other rookie wideout, Xavier Hutchinson, who played only special teams against Jacksonville. Metchie has three catches on three targets for 30 yards in two games this season.

Makes first NFL grab
Metchie caught his lone target for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-20 loss to Indianapolis in Week 2.
Analysis: Metchie, who was drafted in the second round of the 2022, finally made his NFL debut and logged his first catch while playing a wideout-low 14 snaps. The receiver overcame leukemia that wiped out his rookie season, and he was sidelined for Week 1 with a hamstring injury. As the position group is currently constituted, Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson sit behind Nico Collins, Robert Woods and Tank Dell.

Looks to make pro debut Sunday
Metchie (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Assuming the Texans choose not to make him a healthy inactive, Metchie is set to make his regular-season debut Sunday after he missed the entire 2022 campaign while battling leukemia and recovering from a torn ACL before then sitting out last week's loss to the Ravens with the hamstring strain. With Noah Brown (groin) on injured reserve earlier this week, both Metchie and rookie Tank Dell will move up a spot on the depth chart behind veterans Nico Collins and Robert Woods.

Limited in practice
Metchie (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Metchie is still working toward making his NFL debut after spending the entirety of his rookie season battling leukemia and rehabbing a torn ACL as well as missing Sunday's loss to the Ravens with a hamstring injury. If he's good to go for the Texans' Week 2 matchup with the Colts, the 23-year-old will likely find himself competing with Tank Dell and Xavier Hutchinson for playing time

Back at practice
Metchie (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Metchie was sidelined for the Texans' loss to the Ravens this past Sunday after not practicing last week, but his return to the field suggests that the wideout could make his NFL regular-season debut Week 2 versus the Colts. If so, Metchie would be a candidate to compete with Tank Dell and Xavier Hutchinson for snaps at receiver alongside starters Nico Collins and Robert Woods after Noah Brown (groin) was moved to injured reserve Wednesday.

Pro debut delayed again
Metchie (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Metchie's long-awaited pro debut will need to wait until at least Week 2 of the current campaign after he was unable to practice Wednesday through Friday due to a hamstring issue, which he's tended to on occasion since at least May. The 2022 second-round pick likely will need to get back on the practice field next week in some capacity in order for the Texans to clear him for their second game of the season Sunday, Sept. 17 against the Colts.

Absent from practice Friday
Metchie (hamstring) remained sidelined for Friday's practice, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: That's a trio of missed practices this week for the sophomore wideout who missed his entire rookie season battling leukemia. Hamstring issues have been his downfall this year, dating back to the offseason. With Metchie likely out for Sunday's date with the Ravens, Nico Collins, Robert Woods, Noah Brown and rookie Tank Dell should be locked into most of the wideout snaps.

Misses another practice
Metchie (hamstring) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Metchie also missed Wednesday's session, so the wideout will presumably need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Ravens minus an injury designation. As the coming season approaches, the Texans' WR corps is led by Nico Collins and Robert Woods, with Metchie, Noah Brown, Tank Dell and Xavier Hutchinson in the mix to absorb snaps and targets that don't go to the team's top duo.

Not practicing
Metchie didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Metchie has been bothered by his hamstring on and off since at least May, after losing his rookie season to the combination of an ACL tear and a leukemia diagnosis. He's now 21 months removed from the knee injury, but it's not shocking that he's having a tough time staying on the field given all he's had to deal with the past two years. Metchie appears unlikely to play Week 1 at Baltimore and might have to settle for a depth role at receiver whenever he's ready.

Likely sitting out Sunday
Metchie is not expected to play in Sunday's preseason finale against the Saints, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Metchie appeared in each of the Texans' previous two preseason contests, catching two of his three targets for 10 yards in these games. Houston is expected to play the majority of their starters Sunday, including quarterback C.J. Stroud. However, it appears the team doesn't want to risk any potential injuries to Metchie, who missed the entirety of his rookie season while battling leukemia. Either way, the second-round pick's absence could lead to increased opportunities for rookie wideouts…read more

One catch Saturday
Metchie caught one of two targets for five yards in Saturday's 28-3 preseason loss to the Dolphins. He also returned one kickoff for 12 yards.
Analysis: With Tank Dell (leg) sidelined, Metchie and Noah Brown were given opportunities to showcase themselves. Brown was on the field for Houston's first two drives before Metchie entered the game in the second quarter. On the kickoff return, Metchie fielded a squib kick as an up-man, and it does not appear the Texans are considering him for a return role. That indicates Metchie needs to make the team as a wideout, where the 2022 second-round draft pick is competing with Brown, Dell and Xavier…read more

Takes field for preseason
Metchie caught his only target for five yards in Thursday's 20-9 preseason-opening win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Metchie returned to action after missing his rookie year while battling leukemia. He caught a pass on Houston's touchdown drive to end the second quarter. While third-round wideout Tank Dell impressed with five catches for 65 yards and the aforementioned score, Metchie could compete with him for the No. 3 receiver job behind probable starters Nico Collins and Robert Woods.

Gets work on special teams
Metchie has been fielding kicks on special teams along with his work on offense during training camp, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
Analysis: Metchie has participated in all seven days of training camp after missing what would have been his rookie season in 2022 due to a leukemia diagnosis last summer. The wideout reports feeling "110 percent," saying he feels better now than he did in college at Alabama. Once preseason games begin, Metchie's place on the depth chart will become clearer. He currently sits in a pack, along with Noah Brown, Nathaniel Dell and Xavier Hutchinson, behind Nico Collins and Robert Woods. Houston's first…read more

Participates in practice
Metchie practiced with the first- and second-team offenses during the first days of training camp, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Metchie, a second-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, was expected to be an immediate contributor as a rookie, but a leukemia diagnosis wiped out the entire season. His return is seen as an inspiration for the young team, and head coach DeMeco Ryans said it was an "honor to be his coach." Michael Woods and Nico Collins are expected to top the wide receiver depth chart, leaving Metchie to compete with Noah Brown, Nathaniel Dell and Xavier Hutchinson as the third wideout.

Cleared for training camp
Metchie (hamstring) received medical clearance Wednesday for the start of training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Metchie dealt with a hamstring injury earlier during Houston's offseason program, but he's been given a clean bill of health ahead of camp. Practice reps will be crucial for the 2022 second-round pick, who missed his entire rookie season after being diagnosed with leukemia last July. Now fully healthy, Metchie will get a chance to build chemistry with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and compete for a key role in a wide receiver corps that also houses Robert Woods, Nico Collins, Noah Brown and…read more

Should be ready for training camp
Metchie, who sustained a strained hamstring during the initial phase of the Texans' offseason program, is on track to participate in training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: "Everything is on target," Texans coach DeMeco Ryans noted of the wideout at the close of a full-team minicamp. "I think Metchie will be good to go for training camp." The 2022 second-rounder spent his rookie season on the reserve/non-football illness list after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia last July, with Wilson noting that by all accounts, Metchie's recovery since then has progressed well. Once the 5-foot-11, 187-pounder moves past his hamstring issue and is able to take…read more

Sidelined by hamstring strain
Metchie is recovering from a hamstring strain and hasn't been participating in offseason practices, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: A 2022 second-round pick, Metchie spent his rookie season on the reserve/non-football illness list after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia last July. He returned healthy for the beginning of Houston's offseason program in April, and the latest report suggests he should be fine for training camp later this summer. Assuming that's the case, Metchie will compete for WR snaps with Robert Woods, Nico Collins (foot), Noah Brown and Nathaniel Dell in a passing game expected to be…read more

Back to full strength
GM Nick Caserio said Saturday that Metchie (illness) participated fully during Phase 1 of the Texans' offseason program, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite suffering a torn ACL on Dec. 4, 2021 at Alabama, Metchie was a second-round pick for Houston during the 2022 NFL Draft. There was an expectation that he'd be able to play last season, but his situation took another turn when he was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia in July, which kept him off the field entirely. Now that he's completed the initial activities of the offseason program, OTAs and mandatory minicamp are next up for Metchie in May and June before training camp…read more

Will take part in offseason program
Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday that Metchie (illness) will be involved in the Texans' offseason program, Drew Dougherty of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The 22-year-old missed all of last season after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia in July, but Ryans recently noted that the young wideout is "doing fine" and continues to make progress. Ryans added that, for the time being, the Texans plan to "take it one day at a time" with Metchie "and see where he can grow and where he can be when the time comes." During his final season of college football with Alabama in 2021, Metchie caught 96 passes for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns…read more

May be ready for offseason program
Texans general manager Nick Caserio said Wednesday that Metchie (illness) could be ready to participate in the offseason program, Daniel Gotera of KHOU 11 Houston reports.
Analysis: Metchie spent his entire rookie season on the reserve/non-football illness list after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia back in July, but he looks like he may be cleared to return to football activities as early as the start of offseason workouts. The 2022 second-round pick entered the NFL recovering from an ACL tear, but his knee injury wasn't expected to be an issue for last summer's training camp.

Moved to reserve/NFI
The Texans placed Metchie (knee/illness) on the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: This officially rules Metchie out for the first four games of the season, and he's expected to miss the entire year after being diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia earlier this summer. Metchie expects to make a full recovery and return to football at some point.

The Texans placed Metchie (knee/illness) on the active/non-football illness list Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Metchie released a statement earlier Sunday stating that he was recently diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia and likely won't play football during the 2022 campaign. While the diagnosis is concerning, the rookie wideout believes he'll make a full recovery and will take as much time as necessary before returning to football activities.

Diagnosed with APL
Metchie (knee) released a statement Sunday that said he recently was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia and likely won't be playing football during the 2022 campaign.
Analysis: Luckily, APL is the most curable form of Leukemia, so Metchie believes that he'll make a full recovery after receiving the necessary medical care. Regardless, the rookie second-round pick is expected to take as much time as necessary before returning to football activities. Metchie's statement said, "My main focus will be on my health and recovery. Thank you in advance for your support and well-wishes. I cannot wait to come back stronger than ever. God bless."

Recovery ahead of schedule
Metchie (knee) has beat the normal timetables for a player recovering from a torn ligament, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Metchie remains on the sidelines while his teammates participate in OTAs, but the doctor who performed the knee surgery is confident the wide receiver will be ready this summer. "I think he's able to hit all the milestones that the medical staff in Houston wants him to meet in terms of being ready to do things for the team this summer," Dr. Lyle Cain said. The Texans aren't pushing Metchie, who remains confident he'll be ready to play by training camp.

Not participating in OTAs
Metchie (knee) is with the Texans but he isn't participating in Tuesday's voluntary OTAs, Adam Wexler of SportsTalk790 reports.
Analysis: Metchie was spotted jogging on the sideline, but he wasn't able to get any reps in as he continues to rehab from a torn ACL. Texans head coach Lovie Smith said earlier in May that the team is still "in the process" of determining where Metchie is at, but the second-round pick has been confident he'll be ready for training camp in July. Houston obviously wants to be cautious with its rookie wideout, but they still expect him to be able to play at some point during the 2022 campaign.
