The Panthers list Metchie as the top kickoff and punt returner on their unofficial depth chart after waiving Jimmy Horn on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.
A healthy inactive for the Panthers' Week 1 loss to the Bears, Metchie looks poised to make his Carolina debut during this weekend's game in Atlanta. Though he'll presumably be the Panthers' No. 5 receiver in Week 2, Metchie isn't expected to be in line for extensive playing time on offense and will make most of his contributions as a return man.
