DK Metcalf News
Wednesday, August 19, 10:04 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf says he's "fine" despite an undisclosed injury that has kept him out for roughly the past week and a half, according to Nick Farabaugh. There is also no long-term concern about his availability for Week 1. Metcalf has missed a decent stretch of August work and did not dress for Pittsburgh's preseason opener against Green Bay, with head coach Mike McCarthy saying over the weekend that he would be hard-pressed to practice this week. The Steelers haven't seemed interested in pushing him back onto the field. Metcalf played 15 games in his first season with Pittsburgh, catching 59 passes for 850 yards and six touchdowns. The missed time isn't ideal with the regular season getting closer, but Wednesday's update takes some of the worry out of it. If Metcalf is indeed fine for Week 1, Pittsburgh can afford to be patient with him now.

Jakobi Meyers News
Friday, August 21, 7:12 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) wore a brace on his right hand after jamming it in practice. Head coach Liam Coen said the veteran receiver "jammed it" at some point during the week and did not specify whether he would miss time. Meyers was traded to the Jaguars during the 2025 season and had success following the move, hauling in 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games, averaging just under 10 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Despite a solid finish to last season, Meyers still finds himself in a crowded room, with Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter all expected to have roles in Coen's offense. If Meyers does end up missing time with this injury, all three receivers will have expanded roles in his absence.
