Eagles acquire Canadian receiver John Metchie III from Texans: report

The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired wide receiver John Metchie III, of Brampton, Ont., from the Houston Texans for veteran tight end Harrison Bryant on Sunday, a person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the teams haven't announced the deal.

CBC Sports has not independently confirmed the report.

Bryant had nine catches for 86 yards last season in Las Vegas. He spent his first four seasons in Cleveland. He averaged 22 receptions and 198 yards receiving per season with the Browns.

Metchie joins a deep receiving group on the reigning Super Bowl champions led by A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
