Houston Texans rookie wide receiver John Metchie III revealed Sunday that he has been diagnosed with a form of leukemia and likely will not play this season.

"Recently I was diagnosed with APL (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia), the most curable form of Leukemia," Metchie said in a statement.

"I am currently receiving great medical care, am in good spirits and I expect to make a recovery at a later point in time. As a result of this diagnosis, I will likely not be playing football this season. My main focus will be on my health and recovery. Thank you in advance for your support and well-wishes. I cannot wait to come back stronger than ever. God bless."

The Texans placed Metchie on the active/non-football illness list Sunday.

Houston traded up in the second round, sending three picks to the Cleveland Browns, to select Metchie 44th overall in the 2022 draft.

The Houston Texans have reached settlements with 30 women who made claims or were prepared to make them against the team for its alleged role regarding sexual misconduct allegations against Deshaun Watson in massage sessions.

One of the 30 women already had filed a civil suit against the Texans in June, accusing the team of "enabling Watson's behavior." Tony Buzbee said that case is among those being settled.

Buzbee said terms of each of the 30 settlements are confidential.

"We were shocked and deeply saddened when we first learned of the allegations against our then franchise quarterback in March 2021," Texans owners Janice McNair, Hannah and Cal McNair said in a statement. "Although our organization did not have any knowledge of Deshaun Watson's alleged misconduct, we have intentionally chosen to resolve this matter amicably. This is not an admission of any wrongdoing, but instead a clear stand against any form of sexual assault and misconduct.

"We hope that today's resolution will provide some form of closure to the parties involved, our fans and the Houston community at large. As an organization, we will now turn our focus to the future and doing what we can to ensure respect for all."
