DK Metcalf's Health Update Following Ravens Game
Full Transcript
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf experienced stomach pains after the team's 27-22 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on December 7, 2025. According to reports from Deadspin and Behind the Steel Curtain, Metcalf was removed from the team flight home to seek medical evaluation at a local hospital, where he spent the night in Baltimore.
The team's medical staff acted out of an abundance of caution to rule out any internal injuries, especially after Metcalf took a hard hit during the game. Despite this setback, he had an impressive performance, recording seven catches for 148 yards, marking his best game since joining the Steelers.
The team is now monitoring his condition closely as they prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, with an extra day for recovery this week. His status remains uncertain, and the Steelers may have to rely on practice squad members like Marquez Valdes-Scantling if Metcalf is unable to play.
