Metcalf recorded four catches on 10 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Despite briefly leaving the game with a hip injury, Metcalf tallied a new season high in targets and led the team in opportunities. That didn't translate to a great statistical performance, as even with long catches of 30 and 18 yards he was held under 70 receiving yards for the third time in five games this season. Metcalf's results have at least been in part caused by Seattle's mediocre output as a passing offense, though that could change in a Week 7 matchup against Arizona.

Metcalf (hip) returned to Sunday's game against the Bengals for the Seahawks' first drive of the fourth quarter, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initially listed as questionable to return after checking out of the game in the third quarter to get his hip injury evaluated, Metcalf came out of the locker room and was back on the field for the Seahawks' next possession. The Seahawks should provide an update after the game regarding whether Metcalf's hip issue is something that the team will have to keep a close eye on moving forward.

Metcalf suffered a hip injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bengals and is questionable to return.

EDGE Analysis

Metcalf recorded two catches for 30 yards on five targets before heading to the locker room for further evaluation. The Seahawks should have an update on Metcalf's status later Sunday.

Metcalf (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Metcalf was withheld from the Seahawks' first two Week 6 practice sessions with the rib injury, his absences may have been primarily for maintenance purposes. The Seahawks haven't yet completed Friday's practice, but the coaching staff is apparently confident enough in Metcalf's health heading into the final Week 6 session to give him the green light for Sunday. Before the Seahawks went on bye Week 5, Metcalf had played north of 70 percent of the snaps in each of the team's first four games, accruing an 18-268-2 receiving line on 23 targets.

Metcalf (ribs) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the heels of the Seahawks' Week 5 bye, Metcalf now hasn't logged any on-field work due to the rib injury that he sustained Week 2. He's been able to play through the pain in the interim and even told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Wednesday that "it hasn't been" tough to do so, as evidenced by his 18-268-2 line on 23 targets through four games. Still, Metcalf has just one more chance to mix into drills before the team potentially hands him a designation for Sunday's contest in Cincinnati.

Metcalf (ribs) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Metcalf has been tending to a rib injury since suffering the Seahawks' Week 2 win at Detroit, but he's been able to play through the pain and entered the Week 5 bye with an 18-268-2 receiving line on 23 targets through four games. He spoke about the injury Wednesday, telling Brady Henderson of ESPN.com that "it hasn't been" difficult to play through the pain. Metcalf logged smaller snap shares than normal Weeks 3 (72 percent) and 4 (71 percent), so the decreased workloads may have been team-imposed rather than him needing more rest than usual. In any case, he opened Week 6 prep with an absence, giving him two more chances to mix into drills before the weekend.

Metcalf (ribs) had three receptions (on four targets) for 34 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Metcalf overcame a minor rib injury he picked up against Carolina last week in order to suit up against the Giants for Monday Night Football. The 25-year-old looked healthy on a six-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter to give Seattle its first points of the evening. That score would have been enough to earn the win against the Giants in a game where they mustered just three points. The one-sided nature of this contest helps explain Metcalf's lack of targets, as the defense and ground game did the heavy lifting Monday. Metcalf will get an extra opportunity to recover from any lingering injuries when Seattle enters its Week 5 bye. The team's No. 1 wideout will be back in action against Cincinnati on Sunday, Oct. 15.

Metcalf (ribs) does not carry an injury designation heading into Monday's contest against the Giants, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Metcalf posted back-to-back days with full participation, officially clearing the way for the star wideout to participate Monday. The 25-year-old has been the clear-cut top target for Geno Smith, and the Seahawks and could be poised for another massive game against a young Giants secondary.

Metcalf (ribs) was a full participant at Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Metcalf has been nursing a lingering rib injury, but his full participation at Friday's practice is a good sign for his status ahead of Monday's matchup with the Giants. He handled a lower snap share (72 percent) in Week 3 than he did the first couple games of the season, but he now appears to be trending in the right direction. Barring any setbacks, the fifth-year pass catcher is on track to take on his usual role on MNF.

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

EDGE Analysis

Metcalf is beginning Week 4 prep as he started Week 3, the result of a lingering rib injury. While he handled a lower snap share (72 percent) this past Sunday against the Panthers than he did in the first two games of the season, he actually put together his most productive performance (6-112-0 on eight targets) to date. It appears the Seahawks will manage Metcalf's on-field reps until he's past the current concern, and the extra day of rest ahead of Monday's road game versus the Giants should allow him to continue to be available to Seattle's offense.
