The Philadelphia Eagles are adding a 10th former Alabama player to their preseason roster in an NFL trade with the Houston Texans. The Eagles are getting wide receiver John Metchie III from the Texans, the Philadelphia Inquirer, NFL Network and ESPN reported on Sunday.
The Eagles' defense allowed 15 first downs, 9-16 on third downs, and 331 total yards of offense to Cleveland in a 22-13 preseason loss at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday afternoon. With Jalen Hurts and every key starter on offense sitting out,
Philadelphia agreed to a deal with the Houston Texans to acquire former Alabama star wide receiver John Metchie III and a sixth round pick in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a fifth round pick. Metchie joins a wide receiver room that already includes A.J. Brown, fellow Alabama standout Devonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson.
Former Philadelphia Eagles star safety Malcolm Jenkins took to social media to react to his team Hall of Fame induction.
