The Pittsburgh Steelers missed out on a chance to bolster their wide receiver room after the Houston Texans traded wide receiver John Metchie to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Metchie, a former national champion with the Alabama Crimson Tide, was a second-round draft pick of the Texans in 2022 and, after being diagnosed with leukemia ahead of his rookie season, tallied career highs in catches (24) and yards (257) in 2024.
