John Metchie III has made yet another huge stride in his recovery from cancer ... the star wide receiver returned to Texans practice Tuesday -- and he looked good!!!
The former Univ. of Alabama wideout was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia a few months after he was drafted by Houston last year ... and he was forced to sit out his entire rookie season while receiving treatment.
But, the 22-year-old fought it all valiantly throughout the year ... and he was finally able to rejoin his teammates on the practice field this week.
