Steelers WR DK Metcalf (stomach pain) stayed in Baltimore Sunday night

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf spent the night in Baltimore after experiencing stomach pains after Sunday’s 27-22 win over the Ravens, the team announced.

“DK Metcalf was experiencing stomach pains once the team boarded the plane in Baltimore Sunday evening. The Steelers’ medical team removed him from the plane out of an abundance of caution to seek further evaluations at a nearby hospital. He remained in Baltimore overnight and is scheduled to return to Pittsburgh today,” the team statement said.

NFL Network reported that Metcalf, 27, took a hard hit during the game and that the team wanted to rule out any internal injuries.

Despite the hit, Metcalf set season highs with seven catches and 148 yards to raise his tallies to 52 catches for 753 yards and five touchdowns in his first season in Pittsburgh.

The AFC North-leading Steelers (7-6) have an extra day of recovery this week before hosting the Miami Dolphins (6-7) next Monday night.
