DK Metcalf suffers MCL sprain, expected to return soon

Why it matters: The Seahawks' star wide receiver has sustained a Grade 1 MCL sprain but is not expected to be out for an extended period.

What's new: DK Metcalf suffered the injury during the team's win over the Atlanta Falcons and did not return to the game.

Yes, but: While the injury is not considered long-term, Metcalf's availability for upcoming games will depend on his recovery progress.

What to watch: Keep an eye on updates regarding Metcalf's status throughout the week as the team assesses his condition.

  • Coach Mike Macdonald mentioned that the injury doesn't appear to be long-term and expressed Metcalf's determination to play.
  • A source stated that Metcalf is considered week-to-week, indicating that his return could be sooner rather than later.

By the numbers: Despite the injury, Metcalf has already recorded an impressive 568 receiving yards this season, ranking second in the NFL.

The bottom line: While the Seahawks will miss Metcalf's contributions on the field, they can take some solace in the fact that the injury is not expected to keep him out for an extended period.

Our thought bubble: The team will likely prioritize Metcalf's long-term health and ensure he fully recovers before returning to action.

What's next: Metcalf's availability for the upcoming games will depend on how well he responds to treatment and rehabilitation.
