DK Metcalf is back for the Steelers
Our Summary
DK Metcalf's suspension has been lifted, allowing him to rejoin the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of their wild-card game against the Houston Texans. Metcalf, who was suspended for two games following an incident where he attempted to punch a fan, is set to return to the starting lineup. His absence was felt in recent matchups against the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, where his presence could have potentially altered the outcomes. The suspension had sparked debate over its length, as some within the league believed a more severe penalty was warranted given the nature of the incident. With Metcalf back, the Steelers aim to secure their first postseason victory since the 2016 season, breaking a significant playoff win drought.
