Joshua Metellus - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Nursing shoulder issue, iffy for Week 10 Metellus (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Metellus was a late addition to the Vikings' practice report, with the veteran safety popping up as a limited participant for Friday's session due to a shoulder injury. His late addition is concerning for the Vikings, and if Metellus cannot play Sunday, then Theo Jackson and Jay Ward would be the top candidates to start at safety alongside Harrison Smith.

Impact The starting strong safety played just six defensive snaps in the contest, exiting before the rest of the defensive starters. Metellus' brief appearance meant Jay Ward got to see 50 percent of the defensive snaps, allowing him to further acclimate to his depth position at strong safety ahead of the 2026 season.
