The Pittsburgh Steelers left Baltimore on Sunday with a 27-22 win, and in lone possession of first place in the AFC North. However, not every player travelled back to Pittsburgh.

Per Ian Rapoport, wide receiver DK Metcalf stayed overnight in Baltimore after experiencing stomach pains and going to the hospital.

“Steelers standout WR DK Metcalf stayed overnight in Baltimore hotel after going to a local hospital following the game, team spokesman Burt Lauten confirmed,” Ian Rapoport reports on X. “Metcalf was experiencing stomach pains on the flight and out of an abundance of caution, team medical personnel sent him to a nearby hospital. He’s flying back to Pittsburgh today.”

Metcalf had his best game as a Steeler against Baltimore, catching seven passes for 148 yards. His status throughout the week will be something to keep an eye on.
