Texans general manager Nick Caserio shared good news Wednesday regarding rookie wide receiver John Metchie’s battle with leukemia.
The wide receiver, who missed his entire rookie season after being diagnosed with APL (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia) in July, is making “massive strides” in regards to his recovery journey, according to Caserio. Because of his “amazing” progress, it’s possible that Metchie could return to team practices as early as April.
“I’d say there's a chance that he’ll be ready for the start of the offseason program,” Caserio said, via the Texans. “I think there are still some things that he has to complete or go through. Quite frankly, it’s amazing what he’s done to this point.”
