Metellus tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus led the Vikings in stops in the defeat, posting his first double-digit total since Week 3 of last season. The fourth-year safety has played 100 percent of the Vikings' defensive snaps each of his past six games and has recorded at least five stops in every contest during that span. Metellus was primarily a special-teamer prior to this year, but he's blossomed in a near every-down role this season, posting 103 tackles (67 solo), including 2.5 sacks, along with an interception and four forced fumbles over 15 games.

Metellus had eight tackles (five solo) and a 43-yard interception in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus tied with Jordan Hicks and Harrison Phillips with eight total tackles on the day. His interception came in the third quarter on a deep pass from Jordan Love that was intended for Jayden Reed, which Metellus returned into Packers' territory, which led to a 20-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Jordan Addison one play later. Although Metellus sits behind Harrison Smith and Camryn Bynum on the safety depth chart, he still played in 98 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday and has carved himself an every-down role in the Vikings' secondary.

Metellus recorded eight tackles (five solo), one sack and one forced fumble in the 19-13 win over the Bears in Week 6.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus' forced fumble led to a defensive touchdown for Minnesota. It marked his first involvement in a turnover on the season. The safety was on the field for 58 defensive snaps (89 percent) and 11 (42 percent) on special teams. He will look to carry that momentum into Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Metellus (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus now seems to be at least close to 100 percent after sustaining a shoulder injury in Week 2 at Philadelphia. He's played a nearly every-down role for Minnesota through four games in 2023.

Metellus (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus continues to play through a shoulder injury first suffered during the team's Week 2 loss to the Eagles. The injury has yet to force the 25-year-old to miss a game, and he should be available again for the upcoming matchup with Kansas City.

Metellus (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

There was some question as to his status when Metellus missed practice Wednesday, but he'll ultimately be ready to contribute for Week 4. He should retain a significant role against a pass-happy Panthers offense.

Metellus (shoulder) logged a limited practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Mellus left Sunday's game against the Chargers early and was unable to return due to the injury. He was a DNP during Wednesday's practice session, so this is an upgrade for the fourth-year pro. He'll continue working to be ready to take the field for a Week 4 matchup with the Panthers.

Metellus (shoulder) missed the Vikings' practice Wednesday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Metellus did not participate Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell still hopes he'll be able to go Sunday versus Panthers. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice this week.

Metellus left Sunday's game against the Chargers with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The safety made one tackle and assisted on two more before exiting the contest. Metellus also left Minnesota's Week 2 loss to Philadelphia with a shoulder injury but was able to return and then practice during the week.

Metellus (shoulder) isn't listed on Friday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus left the Week 2 loss to Philadelphia with a shoulder injury but made his return later in the game. The same injury limited his practice participation Thursday, but it isn't expected to impact Metellus' availability come Sunday.
