John Metchie III Injury Status

Carolina Panthers • WR
Latest Injury Status
active
A

Metchie worked with the first-team offense during Week 4 prep while Jalen Coker was nursing a quadriceps injury, and with the latter inactive for Sunday night's game, Metchie ended the contest with the third-most targets on the Panthers behind Tetairoa McMillan (16) and tight end Darren Waller (six). Carolina will be on a bye for Week 5 before hitting the road for Week 6 against Philadelphia on Sunday, Oct. 18. That gives Coker more time to recover from his health concern, and if he's cleared to play the Eagles, then Metchie would move back to a rotational role on offense.
