How Will the Houston Texans Replace John Metchie on the Roster?

The injury bug knows no sense of convenience. Training camp hadn’t even started yet and here we are already attempting to digest a players season being cut short. Unfortunately the situation is much more serious, on July 24th John Metchie informed the world that he had a rare form of cancer. It was a shock heard around the football universe as multiple outlets stood unified in handing out their condolences. Even the CFL sent out both thoughts and prayers while covering a Toronto Argonauts game which John’s brother, Royce Metchie plays for. Health had been on the minds of many a Houston Texans fan, since the young Crimson Tide standout was drafted, because he had still been working his way back from an ACL tear suffered towards the end of his collegiate career but this most recent news took people by surprise.
