John Metchie III made his preseason debut with the Eagles, getting his first reception in the first quarter against the Jets on Friday.

Birds fans will enjoy their opportunity to get to know John Metchie this season, but that will seemingly have to wait until Week 1 vs. the Dallas Cowboys. His Eagles debut was, as expected, relatively brief: two targets, one catch, and 14 yards receiving.

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver John Metchie III in a trade with the Houston Texans on Sunday. The Eagles made the trade official on Monday. The Eagles traded tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick in exchange for Metchie and a 2026 sixth-round pick.
