Texans' John Metchie taking big steps in leukemia recovery, GM says

HOUSTON -- Texans rookie wide receiver John Metchie III, who was diagnosed with a form of leukemia in July, has a "chance" to be ready for the start of offseason programs in April, according to general manager Nick Caserio.

Metchie is still receiving treatment, but during a Wednesday morning appearance with Seth Payne and Sean Pendergast on SportsRadio 610, Caserio revealed that Metchie had made "amazing" progress since his cancer diagnosis.

"I think there are still some things that he has to complete or go through," Caserio said. "Quite frankly, it's amazing what he's done to this point.
