Metcalf (foot) was a full practice participant Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The return to practice confirms Metcalf will continue playing through the foot injury Monday night at Washington. He's played at least 72 percent of Seattle's offensive snaps in every game this year, and he has five or more targets in each contest (but just one instance of double-digit targets).

Metcalf (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
As Metcalf contends with a lingering foot injury, he's typically received one day off per week for maintenance purposes. But even with Russell Wilson back in the fold the past two games, Metcalf has put up back-to-back modest performances, combining for seven catches (on 16 targets) for 57 yards and one touchdown after putting up a 39-580-8 line of 56 targets prior to the Seahawks' Week 9 bye. Assuming he's out there Monday at Washington, Metcalf will have a chance to bounce back against a defense that has allowed the fifth-most TDs (13) and ninth-highest YPT (8.6) to wide receivers this season.

Metcalf caught four passes for 31 yards on eight targets against Arizona on Sunday.
EDGE 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.

Metcalf (foot) practiced in full Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Seahawks got Metcalf's weekly absence out of the way early this week, as he followed up Wednesday's DNP with all drills Thursday. With his foot injury not an issue, he can prepare for Sunday's matchup with a Cardinals defense that has allowed the third-lowest YPT (6.9) but second-most touchdowns (14, tied with the Titans) to wide receivers this season.

Metcalf (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf has had regular absences from practice since Week 4 as he deals with a lingering foot injury. Typically, though, the DNP happens during the second session of the week, so it'll be interesting to see how he progresses through Thursday and Friday. He's coming off a season-worst 3-26-0 line on eight targets this past Sunday at Green Bay, even with Russell Wilson (right finger) back under center. Metcalf also is facing a likely fine and not a suspension for attempting to reenter the contest after his late disqualification. While that sequence doesn't appear to be threatening his availability for Week 11 action, his health very well could be.

The NFL is likely to fine Metcalf, not suspend him, for his actions at the end of Sunday's 17-0 loss in Green Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf was ejected after a scuffle with two Packers, then attempted to join Seattle's huddle anyway. 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 just three of eight targets for 26 yards in Russell Wilson's first game back from injured reserve after catching 14 of 18 targets for 197 yards and three touchdowns in three Geno Smith starts. Overall, the 6-foot-4 wideout accounts for eight of Seattle's 15 receiving TDs and 32.1 percent of team receiving yards through nine games.

Metcalf caught three passes for 26 yards on eight targets against Green Bay on Sunday.
EDGE 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. Assuming there isn't any further discipline as a result of his antics late in the game, Metcalf will try to bounce back against the Cardinals in Week 11, though that might depend less on Metcalf's play than the condition of Wilson's throwing hand, which evidently wasn't good enough in this one.

Metcalf (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf mostly has managed to stay productive this year despite dealing with a foot injury since Week 4 and Geno Smith since Week 5. The star wideout is now set to get Russell Wilson (finger) back in the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Packers, restoring Metcalf to his familiar status as a weekly top-10 fantasy option at wide receiver.

Metcalf (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf has been tending to a foot injury since Week 4 prep and recently has received the second practice of each week off. The pattern has repeated itself Week 10, with coach Pete Carroll telling Condotta on Wednesday, "he's ready to go and ready to practice, so we are still working with him and making sure that we are taking care of him." If Metcalf follows the same routine from past weeks, he'll enter the weekend without an injury designation.

Metcalf caught all six of his targets for 43 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.
EDGE 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. That could change soon, though, as Russell Wilson (finger) is optimistic that he'll be back after the bye week for a Week 10 road matchup versus the Packers. Even if Wilson is unable to return, it's at least a positive sign that Smith trusts Metcalf with contested passes at this point.
