Ditches walking boot
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed Saturday that Metcalf no longer is using a walking boot to protect his surgically repaired left foot, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Carroll also noted that Metcalf has resumed running, though presumably not yet at 100 percent after he underwent foot surgery in February. The 24-year-old is expected to continue his rehab into the spring, so he may not be fully cleared before OTAs come to an end. Metcalf should be at or near full strength by training camp in late July, if not minicamp in mid-June, when he and Tyler Lockett will headline a new-look Seattle passing game that will be helmed by a yet-to-be-determined starter…read more

No extension talks yet
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said the Seahawks haven't directly addressed the issue of a new contract for Metcalf, who showed up for the start of the voluntary offseason program while continuing his rehab from foot surgery, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: It wouldn't have been a surprise if Metcalf hadn't reported, considering he's rehabbing from surgery and oft-mentioned in trade rumors as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. He'll likely miss spring practices after foot surgery this winter, but the 24-year-old wideout should be ready for training camp and Week 1

Extension not yet being discussed
Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday, when asked about a potential contract extension for Metcalf (foot), that "we have not gotten to that topic yet specifically because we've got so many other things going on," Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Metcalf is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and with quarterback Russell Wilson having been traded to the Broncos, Seattle's roster is facing a transition to a new era. Carroll did say the Seahawks "intend for [Metcalf] to be with us" for the long term, but at least in the early stages of the offseason, it appears extending the 2019 second-round pick hasn't ranked atop the team's list of priorities. Per Condotta, Carroll suggested that extensions will be dealt with after the free…read more

QB downgrade in contract year
Metcalf (foot) will likely have a downgrade at quarterback in 2022 after the Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to the Broncos on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Metcalf took a step back last year but still managed to post a 75-967-12 line through 17 games despite dealing with a lingering foot injury for most of the season. Head coach Pete Carroll said last week that Metcalf underwent a minor offseason procedure in February to remove a screw from his left foot, but the 24-year-old wideout should be good to go for training camp, if not OTAs. The bigger concern is the changing of the guard at quarterback and the Seahawks' commitment to a rebuild. Metcalf…read more

Foot procedure clarified
Coach Pete Carroll clarified Wednesday that Metcalf underwent a minor offseason procedure to remove a screw from his left foot, Liz Matthews of USA Today reports. "They fixed a surgery that he had on his foot a couple of years back," Carroll noted of the wideout, whose practice reps were managed last season as he dealt with a lingering foot issue. "They just had to go in there and adjust some stuff in his foot. It bothered him all year long."
Analysis: Though the report doesn't specify when the 2019 second-rounder will be able work fully on the field, the hope is that by addressing the issue, Metcalf will be able to practice on a regular basis this coming season. Despite his foot woes, Metcalf played all 17 of Seattle's games last season en route to catching 75 of his 129 targets for 967 yards and career-high 12 TDs. The 6-foot-4, 235-pounder is set to continue to combine with Tyler Lockett in 2022 to form a talented 1-2 punch atop the team's…read more

Recovering from foot surgery
Metcalf recently had surgery to remove a screw from his left foot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Metcalf told Bleacher Report's Taylor Rooks that he had surgery shortly after the conclusion of the 2021 season and was on track to conclude his rehab process around mid-March. While he didn't specify, it's likely the screw he had removed in January initially was inserted back in 2016 when the wideout suffered a season-ending foot injury at Ole Miss. He missed a lot of practice time in 2021 with the left foot popping up as an issue again, but Metcalf doesn't think it had too much impact on his…read more

Inefficient with 11 targets
Metcalf caught five passes for 58 yards on 11 targets against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: Metcalf generally struggled against the Cardinals the last two years while fellow wideout Tyler Lockett posted big numbers in that same span, so it seems safe to say that there's something in Arizona's defensive approach that makes things more difficult for Metcalf. The entire 2021 season has been more difficult for Metcalf, who played a bit nicked up at several points and otherwise dealt with both injury and general dysfunction at quarterback this year. He finishes with 75 receptions for 967…read more

Full practice Thursday
Metcalf (foot) practiced in full Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: After his typical practice limitations to begin the week, Metcalf was able to handle every rep Thursday. His foot injury hasn't impacted his ability to play on game days, and he's back to being a TD fiend, as evidenced by four scores on his eight catches over the last two contests.

Begins week with limited practice
Metcalf (foot) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Metcalf has righted the ship the past two games, gathering in eight of 14 passes for 104 yards and four touchdowns. His score Week 16 against the Bears put an end to a six-game touchdown-less streak, and with 12 on the season he's set a new career high in the category. But Metcalf again is dealing with the foot issue that has affected his practice reps for a good portion of the campaign. He'll aim to ditch the designation for Sunday's game in Arizona before the release of Friday's injury report.

Scores three touchdowns
Metcalf caught six passes for 63 yards and three touchdowns on nine targets against Detroit on Sunday.
Analysis: The Detroit defense just didn't have the secondary personnel to counter the size/speed threat posed by Metcalf, and he was the main pass-catching beneficiary on a day when the Seahawks scored 51 points. Metcalf's fantasy investors generally needed a game like this a month or two ago, but it's clear that his recent struggles were tied to Russell Wilson's finger injury. A formidable Arizona defense awaits in Week 18.

Puts in full practice Thursday
Metcalf (foot) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: After kicking off Week 17 prep with no on-field reps Wednesday, Metcalf handled all of them one day later. His maintenance plan has allowed him to suit up for every game this season, but the results have been tepid since the Seahawks' Week 9 bye. Over the last seven contests, Metcalf has put together a modest 25-266-1 line on 53 targets.

No practice Wednesday
Metcalf (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: As has been the case for much of the season, Metcalf is kicking off the week with practice limitations. The trend may continue into Thursday and even Friday, but he likely isn't in danger of missing the first game of his three-year career Sunday against the Lions. In seven outings since Russell Wilson returned to the lineup, Metcalf has hauled in just 25 of 53 targets for 266 yards. Fortunately for his managers, Metcalf scored his first touchdown since Week 8 this past Sunday versus the Bears.

Returns to end zone Sunday
Metcalf caught two of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: It was another low-volume performance for Metcalf, but he did manage to score his first TD since Week 8 by hauling in a 41-yard strike from Russell Wilson in the first quarter. Metcalf hasn't topped 60 receiving yards in eight straight games, giving him little momentum heading into a Week 17 clash with the Lions, but he needs 146 yards over the Seahawks' last two contests for his second straight 1,000-yard season.

Metcalf (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: As expected, with Metcalf limited by the injury in practice but still handling full workloads each Sunday. While his weekly ceiling remains sky-high, Metcalf now is at six consecutive games with no touchdown and 60 yards or less.

Another limited practice
Metcalf (foot) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Metcalf has opened Week 16 prep with back-to-back capped sessions. Practice limitations have become the norm for the third-year wide receiver since he sustained a foot injury sometime around Week 4. He still managed a 93 percent share of offensive snaps Tuesday against the Rams en route to 12 targets, but those numbers could take a hit with the Seahawks activating Tyler Lockett (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday. No matter, Russell Wilson seems poised to have Lockett and Metcalf…read more

Remains limited at practice
Metcalf (foot) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per usual, the Seahawks continue to manage Metcalf's activity level due to the foot injury he's been tending to since Week 4. Despite it all, he earned a season-high 12 targets Tuesday against the Rams, but the elevated workload only amounted to six catches for 52 yards. Assuming he gets out of Week 16 prep without a designation, Metcalf will take on the Bears' fourth-ranked pass defense (205.4 yards per game) Sunday.

Sees 12 targets in loss
Metcalf (foot/back) had six receptions on 12 targets for 52 yards in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: With fellow starting wideout Tyler Lockett (illness) out of action, Metcalf drew the attention of shutdown corner Jalen Ramsey for the majority of the contest. Netting 52 yards on a 50 percent catch rate isn't a horrible result when factoring in the tough matchup, but it also doesn't stand out from a recent string of poor performances either. After a strong start to the season, Metcalf has failed to either top 60 yards or score a touchdown since Seattle's Week 9 bye. He'll get another chance to…read more

Despite his health being compromised, he's been able to suit up on game days, but his production has waned since the Seahawks' Week 9 bye.

Rings up just 43 yards
Metcalf caught four of eight targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Metcalf and quarterback Russell Wilson haven't been on the same page this season, as the third-year wideout has posted 60 or fewer yards in six straight games while failing to find the end zone in five of those contests. Still, he has been targeted eight times in four of the past five games, so the opportunities should convert into production soon. Metcalf could be shadowed by All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey in Week 15 against the Rams, though.

Set to play Sunday
Metcalf (foot/illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Houston, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Metcalf actually missed practice twice this week, but his absence Thursday likely was attributed to an illness versus the foot injury that has lingered for most of the campaign. Now that he's cleared for game action, he'll look to get back on track versus a Texans defense that has given up 8.8 yards per target (seventh most in the NFL) and 11 TDs (18th most) to wide receivers in 12 contests this season.

Metcalf (foot) missed Thursday's practice with an illness, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Metcalf already has logged one DNP this week due to the foot injury that has followed him for much of the campaign, which typically is the extent of his weekly practice limitations. With an illness in tow, he fortunately has time to put it behind him in advance of Sunday's game at Houston, but his status should continue to be watched to get a sense of his availability for Week 14.

Analysis: Since sustaining a foot injury Week 4, Metcalf has logged one session with limited or no activity per week, but it hasn't stopped him from being available on game days. As a result, he'll likely be listed as a full participant upon the release of Thursday's practice report.

Five grabs against Niners
Metcalf caught five of eight targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: He tied Tyler Lockett for the team lead in targets, but Metcalf didn't do as much with the volume as his teammate. It was still his best performance in four games since Seattle's bye, and with Russell Wilson also showing signs of rounding back into form, Metcalf could be primed for a breakout in Week 14 against the Texans.

Struggles continue
Metcalf caught four passes for 31 yards on eight targets against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: Metcalf managed to produce well enough while Geno Smith subbed for Russell Wilson (finger) earlier this season, but since Wilson's return Metcalf hasn't been able to make his customary impact. He dealt with similar struggles against the Packers in Week 10 (three catches for 26 yards on eight targets), so after two weeks of mediocre production it seems that Wilson might need to make progress with his finger injury before he and Metcalf can get back on the same page.

It didn't work, and he's now looking at his third fine of the season as he prepares for a Week 11 home game against the Cardinals.

Metcalf caught three passes for 26 yards on eight targets against Green Bay on Sunday.
Analysis: Metcalf could have had a bigger day if Russell Wilson hadn't been such a mess -- there's no doubt that the Packers corners can't keep up with Metcalf -- but his unfortunate box score was compounded by an on-field meltdown late in the game during which he committed a flagrant facemask-related offense that got him thrown out.

Metcalf caught all six of his targets for 43 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: While Tyler Lockett was the focal point of Geno Smith's passing attack with 12 catches for 142 yards, Metcalf managed to cash in with two touchdowns (one in each half). The third-year wideout didn't have a reception of more than 16 yards, as his average depth of target has taken a severe hit with Smith under center.

Analysis: The third-year wideout has been receiving maintenance days for a foot injury since Week 4.

Analysis: It appears as if Friday's practice DNP was purely a cautious measure as the star wideout didn't even appear on the final injury report the following day. The Seahawks have operated under this same cadence with Metcalf in back-to-back weeks, so fantasy managers may expect a similar strategy moving forward as the team tries to preserve the 23-year-old's health over the subsequent weeks.

Idle with foot issue
Metcalf didn't practice Friday due to a foot injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After being listed as a full participant in the Seahawks' first Week 7 practice Thursday, Metcalf didn't take any reps with his healthy teammates a day later. While the downgrade in activity would normally be cause for concern, Metcalf also sat out the Seahawks' second practice of Week 6 with the same injury, only to head into the team's game against the Steelers without a designation. Assuming Metcalf's absence Friday was part of a pre-planned maintenance program, he should still be ready to…read more

Team's top receiver in Week 7
Metcalf had six receptions (seven targets) for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: The Seahawks offense looked lost for the entire first half of the contest with Geno Smith under center, recording just 76 passing yards through two quarters. Smith and the rest of the air attack finally got things rolling after halftime, but Metcalf was still left with a pedestrian stat line in his first full game with the backup under center. Things won't get any easier for the dynamic wideout next week, as a matchup against Marshon Lattimore and the Saints looms next Monday.

Ready for Week 6
Metcalf (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Metcalf has been dealing with a foot issue for a few weeks now, which limited him Wednesday and kept him off the practice field entirely Thursday. Clearly, the Seahawks don't want Metcalf to take on any undue stress, though he could have used the reps to get up to speed with Geno Smith, who is taking over under center with Russell Wilson recovering from finger surgery. Despite it all, Metcalf has been his typical productive self this season, compiling a 25-383-5 receiving line on 38 targets…read more

No practice Thursday
Metcalf (foot) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: While tending to a foot injury the previous two weeks, Metcalf's practice reps have been managed prior to suiting up in back-to-back contests, so Thursday's absence may be a part of the Seahawks' plan to keep him as fresh as possible. Still, his status will be one to monitor Friday to make sure he's trending toward playing Sunday night at Pittsburgh.

Stays limited by foot injury
Metcalf (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: For the third week in a row, Metcalf has practice limitations due to a foot issue, and while his share of the offensive snaps Weeks 4 and 5 was a bit lower than normal, he still put up a combined 9-163-3 receiving line on 13 targets. There's seemingly no worry about his availability for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, but his status still should be watched as the week goes on to make sure he's out there Week 6.

Scores twice in loss
Metcalf brought in all five targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks' 26-17 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Analysis: Metcalf was a bright spot on a relatively dismal night for the Seahawks' passing attack, posting a co-team-high number of catches while comfortably pacing Seattle in receiving yardage. Metcalf also rang up his fourth and fifth touchdown grabs of the campaign from 19 and 23 yards out in the first and fourth quarters, respectively, with the second score coming in conjunction with backup signal-caller Geno Smith. Metcalf fell just short of his second 100-yard game of the season, but with four…read more

Clear for Thursday
Metcalf (foot) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Wednesday's practice report marked the fifth in a row in which Metcalf was listed as a limited participant due to a foot issue. Still, he was able to suit up Week 4 and will do so again Thursday. The Seahawks may be without Chris Carson in Week 5 with the running back dealing with a sore neck, so the game plan could be a bit more aerial-based than normal.

Metcalf (foot) was a limited practice participant Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Metcalf managed a foot injury last week too, when his reps were capped in the final two sessions. Still, he entered the weekend without a designation and logged a typical allotment of snaps (81 percent on offense) on his way to catching four of eight passes for 65 yards and one touchdown this past Sunday at San Francisco. Metcalf will look to do the same in advance of Thursday's game versus the Rams.

The Seahawks list Metcalf as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a foot injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Seattle didn't hold a formal practice following Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers, but Metcalf looks as though he may be slightly banged up coming out of that contest. Even if Metcalf was affected by the foot issue in the contest, it wasn't apparent in his final stat line. He played 46 of 56 (82 percent) of offensive snaps and delivered four receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Most likely, the Seahawks are taking it easy on Metcalf on a short week, and the expectation is…read more

Salvages day with one touchdown
Metcalf caught four of eight targets for 65 yards and one touchdown against San Francisco on Sunday.
Analysis: Metcalf wasn't especially efficient Sunday, but the Seahawks offense in general sputtered a bit against the 49ers, especially early on. It'd be nice to see more life from the Seahawks passing game, but on the other hand it's reassuring to see Metcalf produce even when the offense is not explosive. The Seahawks have a short week to prepare for the Rams on Thursday.

Metcalf (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Metcalf made a sudden appearance on Seattle's practice report Thursday, when he was limited due to a foot injury. The health concern won't impact his availability for Week 4, but the same can't be said for Tyler Lockett, who officially is questionable. If Lockett is hindered or sits out entirely Sunday, Metcalf would be in line for a huge share of Russell Wilson's passes.

Metcalf was added to the Seahawks' Week 4 injury report Thursday, when he was limited in practice by a foot issue, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Through three-plus weeks of the current campaign, Metcalf had avoided being anything but a full participant in practice. Now with a cloud hanging over his status, the Seahawks' group of wide receivers is banged-up, with Tyler Lockett (hip) downgrading from limited Wednesday to no activity one day later and Dee Eskridge making his first notable progress through the concussion protocol with a limited showing Thursday.

Busts out in Week 3 loss
Metcalf caught six of nine targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: The third-year wideout opened the scoring on the afternoon with a 10-yard grab from Russell Wilson in the first quarter, setting the stage for Metcalf's first 100-yard game of the year. He led Seattle in catches, yards and targets, and he might need to come up big again in Week 4 in a tough road matchup against the 49ers.

Analysis: Metcalf's longest catch of the day went for 16 yards, while both Tyler Lockett and Freddie Swain recorded receptions of more than 60 yards. It's worth noting that head coach Pete Carroll said Metcalf was "sore" during the game, and that may have factored into a lower depth of target than usual. Nevertheless, it's promising that he received double-digit targets.

Hits paydirt Week 1
Metcalf had four receptions (five targets) for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Tyler Lockett (100 yards and two scores) stole the show from a fantasy perspective, but Metcalf still turned in a solid line. Russell Wilson remains one of the best deep-threat quarterbacks in the league, and without much depth behind his two speedy wideouts, Metcalf and Lockett are likely to alternate big performances on a weekly basis. Next up is a Week 2 matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

No preseason action
Metcalf didn't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Chargers.
Analysis: The Seahawks kept Metcalf -- along with Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett (groin) and Chris Carson -- on the sidelines for all three preseason games. Nothing's more important for Metcalf than getting to the regular season healthy after the 23-year-old posted 83 receptions for 1,303 yards and 10 touchdowns on 129 targets last season. As long as he's healthy, he'll be an elite fantasy option and should be drafted as such.

Metcalf caught five of 11 targets for 96 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Metcalf was only targeted once over the first four drives, and when he was finally targeted again midway through the second quarter, Rams cornerback Darious Williams hopped in front of the pass, intercepting it and taking it the other way for six points. His fate changed on the next drive, however, as Russell Wilson scrambled left and threw a deep pass to Metcalf for a 51-yard touchdown -- the Seahawks' longest play of the day.

Metcalf was held to three receptions (nine targets) for 21 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Metcalf waited for the last game of his breakout campaign to post his lowest yardage total in 2020; the 33 percent catch rate was also the worst mark of the year. The second-year stud did cool off down the stretch once defenses began to key in on him -- Sunday's consistent double coverage by the 49ers being a great example of that -- averaging just 52.8 yards per game with one total touchdown in his final five contests after posting impressive marks of 94.5 yards per game and nine receiving…read more

Metcalf caught six of eight targets for 59 yards during Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.

His long gain on the day went for just 17 yards, and he's now recorded just one grab of more than 25 yards in his last seven games.

In fact, Metcalf was the only one who hindered himself, dropping a catchable touchdown during the fourth quarter.

Metcalf caught seven of nine targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-34 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: If it wasn't already clear, Metcalf is uncoverable. All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White (ankle) shadowed the second-year wide receiver Sunday, but Metcalf produced anyway with his fourth 100-yard receiving effort and eighth touchdown of the season. His ability to beat teams at every level and then run after the catch makes his 2019 second-round draft spot a true head-scratcher. Metcalf will look to stay hot in Week 10 against the Rams.

While Metcalf continued to deliver splash plays -- he had a 36-yard touchdown and a 35-yard reception -- his performance was notable because of the target share he commanded.

His day was highlighted by a 53-yard touchdown pass where he battled defenders to get into the end zone, and he iced the game by hauling in another 36-yard toss. The Seahawks will travel to Green Bay in the divisional round next Sunday, and while the Packers' secondary is sturdier than the Eagles, it'll be tough to slow down Metcalf when he's playing like this.

Analysis: Metcalf underwent minor knee surgery in mid-August but completed his recovery in time to take the field Week 1 and hasn't looked back, putting together a 38-630-5 line on 70 targets. His current limitations may merely be maintenance-based, with his listing on the Seahawks' next two injury reports perhaps clearing up his status before Monday's game versus the Vikings.

Registers 35 yards
Metcalf caught three of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: The Seahawks struggled to get things going through the air -- Russell Wilson completed 13 passes for 200 yards -- so Metcalf ended up below 50 yards for the fourth time this year. The rookie wideout's stat line would've been more appealing had he hung onto a 38-yard pass in the end zone. Metcalf and the Seahawks will look to notch their 10th win in Week 13 against the Vikings.

Garners 10 targets
Metcalf hauled in six of 10 targets for 70 yards in Monday's 27-24 overtime win against the 49ers.
Analysis: Metcalf enjoyed his highest target count of the season, as he trends up in that department with at least nine looks in three of the last four contests. His night may be remembered by its hiccup, however, as the rookie wideout looked like he was going to drag multiple defenders into the end zone but got stripped of the ball by Jaquiski Tartt on the two-yard line. This was Metcalf's second fumble of the season, but it shouldn't affect his reps going forward. In fact, Tyler Lockett (lower leg)…read more

Superb performance in shootout
Metcalf caught six of nine passes for 123 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Metcalf would've had a solid afternoon either way, but his 53-yard, go-ahead score in the fourth quarter was his final stamp on the best performance of his short career. This was the first time he caught more than four passes in a game, and the 123 yards is his highest mark since Week 1's 89-yard outing. Josh Gordon, who was claimed off waivers from the Patriots on Friday, should be in the fold Week 10 against the 49ers, so Metcalf could have competition for deep targets going forward.
