DK Metcalf Dealing With Back Injury
1 year agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (back) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday after he was unable to practice due to a new back injury. Receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) also missed practice for the second straight day. Fantasy managers are going to need to keep a close eye on Metcalf's status heading into Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as midweek injuries can often be problematic. Whether Metcalf can return to practice on Friday could go a long way into determining whether he'll be able to suit up in Week 17. If the 26-year-old is forced to miss this weekend's game, rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba (knee) would have much more upside alongside Tyler Lockett as Seattle's top two wideouts. Stay tuned for more information on Metcalf's status on Friday.
