Metchie practiced with the first- and second-team offenses during the first days of training camp, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Metchie, a second-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, was expected to be an immediate contributor as a rookie, but a leukemia diagnosis wiped out the entire season. His return is seen as an inspiration for the young team, and head coach DeMeco Ryans said it was an "honor to be his coach." Michael Woods and Nico Collins are expected to top the wide receiver depth chart, leaving Metchie to compete with Noah Brown, Nathaniel Dell and Xavier Hutchinson as the third wideout.

Michael Woods? Robert maybe; almost forgot he signed there.
Hope Robert rebounds, but seems a decent chance for Metchie to get his time in vs this room.
