Steelers Anticipate DK Metcalf’s Presence in Dolphins Clash
The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for their upcoming clash against the Miami Dolphins, with wide receiver DK Metcalf expected to play despite recent health concerns. After a victory over the Baltimore Ravens, Metcalf experienced stomach pain, which required a hospital visit but appears to be recovering well.
DK Metcalf’s Health Update
Head coach Mike Tomlin provided insights during a press conference on Tuesday. He revealed that Metcalf felt discomfort following a hit he took early in the game. Although he utilized over-the-counter medication, the pain intensified, prompting the medical attention.
Despite these challenges, Tomlin expressed optimism about Metcalf’s condition. He indicated that while Metcalf might be limited during early practice sessions, his participation in the Monday night game against the Dolphins is not in jeopardy.
Injury Report for Steelers
In addition to Metcalf, several other players’ statuses are under review:
- Calvin Anderson: Expected to miss another game due to a knee injury.
- Kyle Dugger: May return after missing the Ravens game with a hand injury.
- Derrick Harmon: Has been sidelined for multiple games with a knee injury; he will be evaluated through limited practice.
- Andrus Peat: Ruled out against the Ravens after concussion protocol.
- Darnell Washington: Also ruled out following concussion evaluations.
- Malik Harrison: Remains in concussion protocol and did not participate in the Ravens game.
Peat’s absence led to Dylan Cook making his first regular season appearance after stepping in when Peat left the game.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Miami Dolphins
As the Steelers gear up for their match against the Dolphins, the team will be monitoring the health of their players closely. The return of Metcalf could provide a significant boost to the Steelers’ offensive strategy.
