DK Metcalf Injury Update
DK Metcalf’s name has been floating around a lot lately, but here’s the good news: he’s fine. No serious injury, no long-term setback. The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver was cleared for Week 7 after being listed only for rest earlier in the week. He practiced fully, looked sharp, and, according to the latest team reports, carried zero injury designation going into the Thursday night clash with the Bengals.
It’s kind of wild how fast narratives can shift in football. Just last week, people were raising eyebrows over a quieter first half from Metcalf against Cincinnati. Two catches, 45 yards, a look of mild frustration, it wasn’t his usual explosive self. But here’s the thing about DK: his lows are louder than most players’ highs. You could tell he wasn’t injured, just... off. Maybe the timing with Aaron Rodgers wasn’t clicking on that drive. Or maybe it was just one of those rhythm-less games every receiver gets stuck in once in a while.
When you look beyond the box score, the guy’s having a legitimately solid debut season in Pittsburgh. Four touchdowns already, nearly 360 yards on under 20 receptions, that’s chemistry in progress. You can see the trust building between Rodgers and Metcalf, little by little. Those deep slants? Money. That 80-yard touchdown against Minnesota a few games back, the one where he practically shrugged off two defenders? That was vintage DK energy right there.
But this one was a false alarm, thankfully. Watching his interview after practice this week, he had that relaxed smile, the kind that says, “Yeah, I’m good. Let’s go win.” And honestly, if Rodgers keeps feeding him the way he has been, we’re about to see Metcalf step into a whole new groove in black and gold.
