NFL Trade Rumors
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf stayed overnight in a Baltimore hotel with stomach pains.
Rapoport mentions Metcalf went to a local hospital after the game and stayed overnight in a hotel after he was experiencing stomach pains on the team flight. The team sent him to a nearby hospital out of precaution, and he’s flying back to Pittsburgh today.
The goal was to rule out any significant internal injuries, but it’s too early to tell what his status might be for Week 15, per Rapoport.
Metcalf, 27, is a former second-round pick by the Seahawks in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss. Seattle traded up to select him and exchanged the No. 77 and No. 118 picks for him.
He signed a four-year, $4,586,054 rookie contract, including a $1,355,312 signing bonus with the Seahawks, and was set to earn a base salary of $3,986,000 in 2022 when he signed a three-year, $72 million extension.
Metcalf was due base salaries of $13 million and $18 million in the final two years of the deal when he restructured his contract in 2024. He’s set to make a base salary of $18 million in 2024 and was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.
Seattle traded Metcalf to Pittsburgh with a sixth-round pick this past offseason for a second-round pick and a seventh-round pick and then signed him to a four-year, $132 million extension through 2029.
In 2025, Metcalf has appeared in 13 games for the Steelers and caught 52 of 87 targets for 753 yards and five touchdowns.
