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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Piles up 103 tackles in 2024 Metellus finished the 2024 season with 103 tackles (63 solo), five pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season contests.

Impact Metellus appeared in all 17 games for the third straight season, but he started just 10 contests after starting all 17 the previous year. Metellus still played 87 percent of the defensive snaps as a near-full time performer. A sixth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Metellus has posted back-to-back 100-tackle campaigns and has one year left on a three-year, $8 million deal. With Camryn Bynum scheduled to be a free agent in March, Metellus could be in line for a starting gig in 2025 after splitting time between safety, slot corner and linebacker this past season.
