Texans wide receiver returns to practice
There’s a chance that Metchie contributes to the offense soon, perhaps as soon as this week against the Indianapolis Colts at NRG Stadium. He’s still waiting to play in his first regular-season NFL game after being inactive against the Baltimore Ravens in the opening game while recovering from the leg injury.
And now Metchie, 23, a native of Canada who attended high school in the United States in Maryland and New Jersey before earning a football scholarship to Alabama and whose family originally moved from Ghana, is soaking up every moment. Back on the football field, back to running sharp routes and catching passes, Metchie is an inspiration to his teammates, coaches and his fellow patients and doctors.“I would say he’s a good teammate to have,” wide receiver Robert Woods said.
“I guess an answer to tie into that is faith, right?” Metchie said. “One of the most curable forms of cancer, but very tough at the beginning. So, I was very blessed and grateful to have one of the most curable forms of cancer. As you saw, I didn’t lose my hair and a lot of stuff like that. So, I was very grateful and very blessed for that, but at the very beginning of it when you’re diagnosed, it’s a very tough part.
The Texans have measured expectations for Metchie because of his health issues and time away from football. Metchie hosted a group of patients and staff from MD Anderson at NRG Stadium last fall. He was their host and it was a moment he’ll never forget. Those relationships, that bond, are unique for Metchie.
