Metcalf Relieved to Be in the Playoffs After Steelers Rally During His Suspension
DK Metcalf returns after missing two games for swinging at a fan and prepares for Steelers' first home playoff game in eight years against Houston.
- On Monday, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf returned to work and rejoined the locker room for the first time since his two-game suspension, upheld by the NFL after contact with a fan.
- On Dec. 21, an exchange with a fan in Detroit prompted league review after Metcalf took a swipe at Ryan Kennedy, though Metcalf declined to discuss specifics.
- Showing momentum, Metcalf had been productive in the three games before his suspension with 14 catches for 245 yards and a touchdown, and he worked out at the team facility last week while urging the wide receivers group to stay focused.
- Pittsburgh enters the postseason 10-7, bolstered by Metcalf's return as the team moves forward to a Wild Card game against Houston at Acrisure Stadium after winning four of five.
- With playoff history in mind, the Steelers see Metcalf as a key contributor against Houston Texans, whose defense features two starting corners, Kamari Lassiter and Derek Stingley, as they target breaking their playoff winless streak.
