Overview
- Ryan Kennedy publicly denied using racial or misogynistic slurs and asked DK Metcalf to state that no such language was directed at him.
- Kennedy’s lawyers said Ford Field security interviewed him on game day, found no guest code violation, and escorted him back to his seat.
- The NFL upheld Metcalf’s two-game suspension for making contact with a spectator, costing him game checks and, per media reports, potentially voiding guaranteed money.
- League officials are still reviewing the fan’s conduct based on evidence presented during Metcalf’s appeal, with no discipline for Kennedy announced.
- Reports note Metcalf previously flagged Kennedy to Seahawks security in 2024, which Kennedy’s attorneys say was also investigated without a conduct finding.
