Is DK Metcalf playing vs Rams? Injury updates for Seahawks WR for Week 9

The Seattle Seahawks were without wide receiver DK Metcalf last weekend in their abysmal 31-10 home loss to the Buffalo Bills. Metcalf suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain during the win over the Falcons. In his absence, the Seahawks offense were clearly lacking an explosive threat to stretch the field. While Metcalf being active likely wouldn’t have changed what we saw on Sunday, I image Seattle would have been more of a threat with him.

On Monday, head coach Mike Macdonald gave an update in regards to Metcalf’s knee, and it is on the more optimistic end.

The Seahawks are in dire straights right now. Their 3-0 lead in the NFC West has completely evaporated, as they are now technically in third place. If Seattle loses on Sunday to the Los Angeles Rams, and the Arizona Cardinals beat the Chicago Bears at home, they will be in sole possession of dead last in the division.

In his 10 games against the Rams in his career, Metcalf has caught 46 passes for 667 yards and six touchdowns. Last year, he had a touchdown in each of the two games with Los Angeles, both Seahawks losses.
