The Houston Texans have shaken up their roster, sending wide receiver John Metchie III to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a late-round pick swap. On today’s show, we break down why this trade makes sense for both sides, what Bryant brings to Houston’s tight end room, and why Metchie ended up being the odd man out in a crowded wide receiver group.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Texans will also receive a 2026 fifth-round pick while sending a 2026 sixth-rounder back to Philadelphia. We’ll also look at Bryant’s experience and fit behind Dalton Schultz, why Metchie never fully established himself in Houston, and how this move changes the Texans’ depth chart moving forward.
Be sure to watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein break it all down.

Joe Espada forced to make change after Astros outfielder crashes into fence
Aug 20, 2025, 1:17 pm
Houston Astros outfielder Taylor Trammell left Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Tigers on a cart after crashing into the center field fence in the first inning.
The Tigers led 4-0 with no one out when Dillon Dingler hit a line drive to deep center. The ball deflected off Trammell’s glove just before he hit the fence. Dingler ended up with an RBI triple, giving Detroit a five-run lead.
Trammell was examined by the Houston training staff and started to walk off the field before going to a knee. A cart was brought out and he was taken into the tunnel behind right field.
It was the second time Trammell had needed assistance from trainers in 15 hours. In the ninth inning of Houston’s 1-0 loss on Tuesday night, he landed on his back after catching a foul flyball and had to be checked out before staying in the game.
