inherits 9% of PIT targets (56% vacated, his claim 16%)
Metcalf is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after missing Friday's practice due to an illness.
Metcalf wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, which suggests he started feeling sick Thursday evening or Friday morning. He'll have nearly two days to recover before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, and the Steelers might want him active even if he isn't at full strength, given their myriad of injury problems at wide receiver. Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) are out this week, leaving Germie Bernard and return specialist Kaden Wetjen as the only healthy WRs on the active roster. Brandon Johnson was called up from the practice squad last week.

Metcalf is set to catch passes from Aaron Rodgers again in 2026, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Rodgers and the Steelers are expected to agree on a one-year contract.
Metcalf recorded 850 receiving yards during the 2025 regular season, marking the seventh consecutive campaign in which the veteran wide receiver notched at least that many receiving yards. He'll continue to work as a key target for Rodgers in a Steelers offense that bolstered its wide receiver room by trading for Michael Pittman and drafting Germie Bernard in the second round.
