Overview

• The Eagles completed a trade Sunday, sending tight end Harrison Bryant and a fifth-round pick to the Texans for John Metchie III and a sixth-rounder.
• Sirianni said Metchie’s quickness, toughness, blocking and ball finishing stood out and noted similarities to DeVonta Smith from their Alabama coaching.
• Jalen Hurts said he was excited to add Metchie after the receiver’s second practice with the team and looked forward to building chemistry.
• Metchie joins a crowded passing game and is new to the system, with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson currently ahead and Dallas Goedert heavily involved.
• Some outlets project Metchie as a potential No. 3 receiver, and an anonymous AFC GM told an insider the Eagles may not be done dealing, which remains speculative.
