Former Texans receiver John Metchie participated in his first Eagles' practice on Tuesday and is already building chemistry with the quarterbacks.

Metchie, who was acquired Sunday from Houston, is close with DeVonta Smith from their time together at Alabama, and also has crossed paths with Jahan Dotson.

Metchie caught five of eight targets for 45 yards while adding 23 yards on one kickoff return in Houston's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings in Week 1. Philadelphia officially announced the move on Monday, reuniting Metchie with DeVonta Smith and other former Alabama teammates.
