The Pittsburgh Steelers have successfully escaped the two-week period in which star wideout DK Metcalf served his suspension.<\/p>\n
The discipline came after Metcalf attempted to strike a Detroit Lions fan who was taunting Pittsburgh\u2019s WR1. Despite his antics, the Steelers were still able to squeeze out a playoff berth with their win over Baltimore on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Now, with a wildcard round matchup against Houston from Acrisure Stadium a week away, the Ole Miss product is beginning to break his silence.<\/p>\n
Metcalf appreciative of Steelers through suspension<\/p>\n
On Monday, the 6-foot-four receiver spoke with the media regarding his suspension and the previous few weeks. Pittsburgh beat writer Alan Saunders detailed the words of Metcalf in an X post.<\/p>\n
Saunders described that the seventh-year pro was quiet about discussing what occurred in Detroit, but provided an update on what the process has looked like since.<\/p>\n
\u201cSteelers WR DK Metcalf just spoke to the media,\u201d said Saunders. \u201cHe gave no details whatsoever about his side of the story about what happened in Detroit.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe did say he was surprised the suspension was upheld on appeal, and thanked his teammates for supporting him while he was out.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Metcalf remains silent regarding the details of the incident in Detroit, he did voice his surprise that, upon appeal, his suspension was upheld.<\/p>\n
Earlier this season, Cincinnati Bengals star receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase got into it with Steelers CB\/S Jalen Ramsey. After engaging with one another, Chase spat on Ramsey\u2019s jersey, taking the scuffle to a new level. Upon further review, it was deemed that Chase would face a one-game suspension, which he also appealed to no avail.<\/p>\n
As the three-time 1,000-plus yard receiver prepares for his return to action, was the NFL valid in denying his appeal of a two-game suspension?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Steelers have successfully escaped the two-week period in which star wideout DK Metcalf served his suspension.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":657798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[7,6,520,57,6416,2374,2360,426],"class_list":{"0":"post-657797","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-pittsburgh","11":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","12":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers-commentary","13":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers-news","14":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","15":"tag-steelers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115846856299386164","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
