Steelers' DK Metcalf Evaluated at Baltimore Hospital After Ravens Win, Released to Return Home

Team officials described the hospital visit as a precaution to rule out internal injury.

Overview

  • Metcalf reported stomach pains while the team was preparing to fly and was sent to a Baltimore hospital out of an abundance of caution, per Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten.
  • He remained in Baltimore overnight for testing and observation and was cleared Monday to fly back to Pittsburgh.
  • Ian Rapoport reported the evaluation focused on ruling out significant internal injuries, and Metcalf’s status for Week 15 versus Miami is being monitored.
  • The receiver delivered season highs with seven catches for 148 yards in the 27-22 victory and even took a late snap on special teams as a gunner.
  • The win moved Pittsburgh to 7-6 and into first place in the AFC North, placing added attention on Metcalf’s practice participation ahead of Monday Night Football.
