John Metchie III Health, Injury Updates & History

Listed as Questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game vs the Chargers, he's been a limited practice p...

Did not practice on Tuesday due to a shoulder issue after leaving the third quarter of the Week 18 game against the Titans following a hit to the upper-body. Metchie was checked for concussion and reported to have cleared the test. Will monitor upcoming practices.

Metchie suffered a grade 3 left ACL tear in college after winning the SEC Championship game but still hoped to eventually make an impact his rookie season. This hope was lost when he was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia and forced to miss his entire rookie year. DeMeco Ryans said “everything is on target” for Metchie despite him suffering a hamstring strain during OTA’s. Our panel of doctors assert that Metchie will be closer to 100% towards the middle of the season as he has been dealing with many health issues recently- now dealing with a hamstring issue and has not practiced all week so unlikely to play
