Wide receiver John Metchie III missed Houston’s game on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a shoulder injury. But on Monday, the former Alabama pass-catcher said he’d be ready to play when the Texans take on the Baltimore Ravens as part of the NFL’s Christmas doubleheader.

The Houston Texans didn’t need to see what Baltimore’s Derrick Henry is doing this season to be reminded of just how dangerous he can be.
Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said “you can’t replace a Tank Dell” because of his unique skill set. But if they were to try, Metchie could be someone close to that ability. Like Hutchinson, Metchie is eager for more of a chance in Houston’s offense but keeping in mind the reason for it.
The Houston Texans lost much more than just their sixth game of the season Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, as wide receiver Tank Dell will now miss the remainder of the season after suffering a significant knee injury.
Metchie (shoulder) was listed as limited on Sunday's practice estimate, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. The Texans played the Chiefs on Saturday, so the team didn't actually hold a practice a day later.
Not only did last Saturday see the Texans lose just about any chance to seed higher than 4th in the AFC playoffs, the loss of not 1, but 3 key players cast a very dark shadow over the future of the 2024 campaign.
Dell, who suffered a similar season-ending injury last season against the Denver Broncos, collided with teammate Jared Wayne after hauling in a 30-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud during the third quarter.

The Houston Texans' game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday was supposed to be a litmus test. After playing arguably their best defensive game in a win over the Miami Dolphins last week, this game would have truly showed if the Texans were capable of competing with the AFC's elite.
The Baltimore Ravens turned December Derrick Henry loose on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday to score a 34-17 victory in an AFC North rivalry game. In Saturday’s other NFL game, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans 27-19.
