Steelers' DK Metcalf Leaves With Ankle Injury vs. Bears, Returns to Finish Game

The marquee offseason acquisition's availability looms large for Pittsburgh's offense.

Overview

  • The team announced Metcalf was questionable to return after an in-game ankle injury in Chicago.
  • He limped off in the second quarter following a short completion and was examined in the blue medical tent after initially being unable to put weight on his left leg.
  • Metcalf returned to action, then appeared to aggravate the ankle on a third-quarter end-around and exited again.
  • A Monday report from PennLive said he finished the contest, with further evaluation expected this week.
  • Before his second exit he logged two receptions for nine yards and two rushes for 12 yards with a touchdown, in a game Pittsburgh played without starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
