DK Metcalf Released After Overnight Hospital Stay in Baltimore

Team doctors ordered tests to rule out internal injury, leaving his Monday night availability under review.

Overview

  • Metcalf stayed in a Baltimore hospital overnight after reporting stomach pains on the team plane, the Steelers said.
  • Burt Lauten described the hospital visit as precautionary and confirmed Metcalf was cleared to fly back to Pittsburgh on Monday.
  • Ian Rapoport reported Metcalf absorbed a hard hit and that doctors aimed to rule out significant internal injuries, with his status for Dolphins–Steelers uncertain.
  • The receiver delivered a season-best performance in the 27-22 win at the Ravens, recording seven catches for 148 yards on 12 targets.
  • Pittsburgh moved to 7-6 and sits atop the AFC North, and Calvin Austin III could see an expanded role if Metcalf is limited.
