Metcalf (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year wideout has been receiving maintenance days for a foot injury since Week 4. Life with Geno Smith under center hasn't exactly been smooth sailing, but Metcalf has stayed afloat much better than Tyler Lockett so far. A Week 8 matchup with Jacksonville should help both receivers, while a Week 9 bye gives Russell Wilson (IR/finger) more time to recover.

Metcalf (foot) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf has received routine maintenance for his foot injury since Week 4, sitting out the second practice both of the past two weeks. If he follows last week's regimen to a T, he'll log a limited session Friday and enter the weekend without a designation for the Seahawks' Week 8 matchup with the Jaguars.

Metcalf (foot) caught two of five targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 13-10 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf owners had a bit of an scare earlier in the week when he popped up on the injury report with a foot injury on the last day of team practice, but the speedster turned out to be healthy enough to suit up for Monday's contest. The 23-year-old rewarded fantasy managers with a career high 84-yard touchdown catch and run after beating his assignment on a go route in the first quarter. Metcalf has managed to stay relevant over the past two weeks even with the sub-par Geno Smith under center, and he will attempt to continue doing so for at least one more game when Seattle takes on the Jaguars before the team's bye week.

Metcalf (foot) was not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against the Saints, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE 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.

Metcalf didn't practice Friday due to a foot injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE 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 handle a normal workload Monday night against the Saints.

Metcalf had six receptions (seven targets) for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.
EDGE 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.

Metcalf (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE 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 through five games.

Metcalf (foot) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE 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.

Metcalf (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE 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 night'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.

Metcalf brought in all five targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks' 26-17 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
EDGE 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 touchdowns in his last three contests, fantasy mangers aren't complaining. The third-year wideout will look to keep up the momentum while working with either Russell Wilson (finger) or Smith in a Week 6 road matchup against the Steelers a week from Sunday.
