Metellus finished Sunday's 21-17 win over the Browns with four solo tackles and a pass defense.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus has logged four solo tackles in four of the first five games of the regular season and has played every single defensive snap in three of those contests. The 2020 sixth-rounder is up to 27 tackles (19 solo) and three pass defenses (including one interception) this season.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus and Eric Wilson tied for the Vikings lead in tackles in the loss. The nine stops were a season-high mark for Metellus, who has posted 23 tackles and two defensed passes (including an interception) through four games.

Metellus was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus logged 79 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps and snagged his first interception of the season in this past Sunday's blowout win over Cincinnati, but he appears to have also picked up a foot injury. The veteran safety's ability to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday is a promising sign that he may not be dealing with a serious issue, but Metellus might not be fully cleared heading into the weekend unless he's able to practice in full either Thursday or Friday.

Metellus recorded five total tackles (four solo), while also securing an interception in Sunday's 48-10 win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus jumped in front of a pass from Jake Browning in the third quarter, snatching his first interception of the year. The safety is now up to 14 total tackles (11 solo), while registering two passes defensed, including the aforementioned interception, over three games this season.

Metellus recorded three tackles (three solo) in the Vikings' loss to the Falcons on Sunday night.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus picked up six tackles (four solo) in Monday's 27-24 win against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus' six stops were enough to lead his team in the victory. The veteran safety was on the field for all 67 of the Vikings' defensive snaps, marking the first time he didn't miss a snap since Week 4 of last season.

Metellus (shoulder) returned to practice Monday, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus landed awkwardly on his shoulder in practice last Thursday. Metellus has been a mainstay in the Vikings' secondary over the past two seasons at safety alongside Harrison Smith.

Metellus injured his shoulder during Thursday's training camp practice, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters that Metellus injured his shoulder during the team's two-minute drill, and the sixth-year safety will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Metellus has been a mainstay in the Vikings' secondary over the past two seasons, and an extended absence would open the door for Theo Jackson and Jay Ward to compete for a starting spot at safety alongside Harrison Smith.

Mettellus (ankle) participated in Minnesota's practice Monday, Cole Smith of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mettellus had missed the previous two practice sections after injuring his ankle but is now healthy again. The 27-year-old had a strong outing last season, recording 103 tackles (63 solo) and two interceptions across 17 regular-season games and will look to keep producing during the upcoming campaign.

Metellus (ankle) signed a three-year, $36 million contract extension with the Vikings on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal includes $25 million guaranteed.

EDGE Analysis

Metellus has played 34 regular-season games (27 starts) over the past two seasons, and he recorded 219 tackles (141 solo), 2.5 sacks, 10 pass breakups, five forced fumbles and three interceptions in that stretch. Metellus is a utility player in Minnesota's defense. He's listed as a safety but often lines up as a box linebacker and a slot cornerback, leading to high tackle counts for IDP purposes. According to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, Metellus is still dealing with a minor ankle injury that will keep him out of Saturday's practice, but he should return to action Monday.
