Metcalf missed two plays during Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets to have his knee examined by trainers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. "He tweaked his knee," coach Mike Macdonald said of Metcalf after the game. "Then we did a bunch of tests and stuff, and I think he's doing all right right now." Metcalf's prompt return to the game coupled with his coach's postgame comments suggest the injury probably won't affect Metcalf's availability moving forward, but the star wide receiver's practice participation will still bear monitoring as Seattle prepares for a pivotal Week 14 matchup against the NFC West rival Cardinals. He came into Sunday's win nursing a shoulder injury, so Metcalf's a bit banged up for the stretch run. Metcalf's brief two-play absence occurred in the third quarter, and he caught a pass on his first play after checking back in before drawing a key pass interference call on the following drive.

Tweaks knee in win over Jets
Metcalf missed two plays during Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets to have his knee examined by trainers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. "He tweaked his knee," coach Mike Macdonald said of Metcalf after the game. "Then we did a bunch of tests and stuff, and I think he's doing all right right now." Metcalf's prompt return to the game coupled with his coach's postgame comments suggest the injury probably won't affect Metcalf's availability moving forward, but the star wide receiver's practice participation will still bear monitoring as Seattle prepares for a pivotal Week 14 matchup against the NFC West rival Cardinals. He came into Sunday's win nursing a shoulder injury, so Metcalf's a bit banged up for the stretch run. Metcalf's brief two-play absence occurred in the third quarter, and he caught a pass on his first play after checking back in before drawing a key pass interference call on the following drive.
Four catches in win
Metcalf (shoulder) caught four of nine targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets. Metcalf was blanked on two first-half targets but got involved early in the second half, making catches of 28 and 30 yards on Seattle's first possession of the third quarter. He then drew a 20-yard pass interference penalty on fourth down to extend a fourth-quarter drive that culminated in Zach Charbonnet's game-winning rushing touchdown. Despite his slow start, Metcalf finished just eight receiving yards short of Jaxon Smith-Njigba's team-leading total. Up next for Metcalf is a Week 14 road game against the Cardinals.
Cleared to play Week 13
Metcalf (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Jets, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. The Seahawks seemingly were being cautious when they held Metcalf out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. There was no sign of trouble last week, when he led the team in route share (92 percent) and caught four of five targets for 59 yards in a 16-6 win over the Cardinals.
Remains DNP on Thursday
Metcalf (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. The Seahawks may be exercising caution with two of their top wide receivers, but neither Metcalf nor Tyler Lockett (knee) have logged any on-field work this week, leaving just one more chance to do so ahead of the weekend. Friday's practice likely will be key for Metcalf's odds to be available Sunday at the Jets.
DNP with shoulder injury
Metcalf didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. As the Seahawks opened Week 13 preparations, both Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (knee) are sitting out due to new health concerns. As a result, the team's ensuing practice reports Thursday and Friday likely will be key for who among the pair may be in danger of missing Sunday's game at the Jets. Since returning from an MCL sprain, Metcalf has gathered in 11 of 14 targets for 129 yards and no touchdowns over the last two contests.
Four grabs against Cards
Metcalf caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals. Offense was at a premium on a rainy afternoon in Seattle, and Metcalf fell short of 60 receiving yards for only the fourth time in nine appearances this season. The 26-year-old wideout has managed an 11-129-0 line on 14 targets over two games since returning from a knee injury, but he'll look to break out in Week 13 against the Jets.
Solid numbers in return
Metcalf (knee) finished with seven receptions (on nine targets) for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over San Francisco. Metcalf returned from a knee injury sustained in Week 7 to reclaim his starting role in an upset victory for Seattle. The physically gifted wideout saw his usual allotment of targets (nine) while Jaxon Smith-Njigba (10-110-0) stayed hot with his star teammate returning Sunday. A healthy Metcalf should be considered a plus fantasy play against Arizona next Sunday.
No injury designation
Metcalf (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco, SI's Corbin Smith reports. A Week 10 bye apparently did the trick, with Metcalf managing full practice participation Wednesday through Friday. He should be ready for his usual, near-every-down role in his first appearance since Week 7.
Full practice Wednesday
Metcalf (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Coach Mike Macdonald said earlier Wednesday that Metcalf would be limited in his return to practice, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. However, Metcalf practiced without a cap on his reps, clearly taking advantage of the Seahawks' Week 10 bye to get healthy. He'll thus be available this weekend for the first time since he sustained a sprained MCL back in Week 7.
