Overview

• “Y’all are going to make it a big deal, I’m not,” Metcalf said of facing Seattle, framing Sunday as just another game after posting 4 catches for 83 yards in Week 1.
• Seattle cornerback Shaquill Griffin said the defense won’t make the matchup personal and won’t game-plan exclusively for Metcalf, while coach Mike Macdonald noted Pittsburgh can deploy him anywhere.
• The Steelers ruled out starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr. and lost safety DeShon Elliott to a knee injury last week, then signed veteran Jabrill Peppers to bolster the secondary.
• Coach Mike Tomlin said either Peppers or Chuck Clark could start alongside free safety Juan Thornhill as Pittsburgh reshuffles its back end.
• Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Acrisure Stadium, and FanDuel lists Pittsburgh as a three-point favorite over Seattle.
