John Metchie III walked across the practice field Tuesday morning, dressed in a green hoodie sweatshirt while carrying bottled water and coconut water.
“We’ve been praying for John and watching him deal with a tough illness, but it’s good for the team to see him back,” Texans coach Lovie Smith said. “There is a brotherhood, and you care. He is family. Everybody, of course, realizes what John is going through. A visual means an awful lot. That special smile that he has, it was good for everybody to see it today.
His teammates have been paying tribute to him, including wide receiver Jalen Camp delivering a convincing rendition of Metchie’s trademark touchdown celebration during a 17-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints at NRG Stadium.When Metchie scored touchdowns at Alabama he would pose in the end zone in a manner reminiscent of the crane kick from the Karate Kid movies.
“It means a lot, man,” Texans offensive tackle Tytus Howard said. “He’s going through a lot right now. The testimony to him that he’s out here supporting us, what we’ve got going on. It was good to see him, and I hope I get a chance to catch up with him in the locker room.”
