Steelers' DK Metcalf: Full practice to open Week 15
DK Metcalf (abdomen) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.After Metcalf was briefly hospitalized following Sunday's win over the Ravens when he experienced stomach pains on the team flight, head coach Mike Tomlin suggested Tuesday that the wideout's practice availability could be affected in Week 15. Metcalf evidently bounced back from the stomach issue quicker than anticipated, as his ability to begin the week of practice without any restrictions should clear the way for him to play Monday versus the Dolphins. For his part, Metcalf didn't go into details regarding the severity of his stomach pains when he spoke to the media Thursday, though he confirmed that he was "good" for Monday's game, per Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Likely on track to play Monday
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he doesn't expect DK Metcalf's (stomach) availability for the team's Week 15 game against the Dolphins to be in any peril, though the wideout's practice reps could be affected, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.Following a stellar outing in the Steelers' Week 14 win over the Ravens in which he caught seven of 12 targets for a season-high 148 receiving yards, Metcalf was admitted to a Baltimore-area hospital when he reported stomach pain on the team flight. Metcalf's stomach discomfort appeared to stem from a hard shot he took during Sunday's game, but a significant internal injury was seemingly ruled out following his hospital stay. Tomlin intimated that Metcalf will open Week 15 prep as a limited participant, but the early expectation is that he'll be cleared to handle his usual duties as the Steelers' No. 1 receiver by the time Monday's game arrives.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Dealing with stomach issue
DK Metcalf was hospitalized with a stomach issue following Sunday's victory over the Ravens, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.Metcalf took a hard hit during Sunday's contest, per the report, and he was sent to the hospital "out of an abundance of caution" after "experiencing stomach pains" once he'd boarded the Pittsburgh Steelers' team flight. Metcalf wound up staying overnight in Baltimore for observation, but he was cleared to fly back to Pittsburgh on Monday. It's unclear how the injury will affect the wideout's status for a Week 15 matchup with the Dolphins, but he will be afforded an extra day to rest and recover before the Monday nighter.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Best showing as Steeler
DK Metcalf recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 148 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens.Metcalf entered Sunday's game having failed to top 55 yards in seven consecutive games while logging only two receptions of at least 20 yards in that span. That changed quickly in the pivotal divisional matchup, as he nabbed a 52-yard reception on the Pittsburgh Steelers' opening possession while logging three catches of at least 20 yards overall. Metcalf was able to log his first 100-yard performance since Week 4 as a result while also logging his highest reception and yardage total of the campaign. Given his track record this season, Metcalf remains difficult to trust, though he does enter a fairly favorable Week 15 matchup against the Dolphins.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Struggles continue
DK Metcalf recorded three receptions on five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Bills.Metcalf continues to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers in targets, but that wasn't particularly meaningful in Sunday's loss, given that the team attempted only 24 passes. His longest gain of the day was a 14-yard catch early in the second quarter to help set up the team's only touchdown of the game, and he's now gone five consecutive matchups without a reception of at least 20 yards. In that same span, Metcalf's highest yardage total in a game is 49 yards.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: No restrictions at practice
DK Metcalf (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.Metcalf injured his ankle during Pittsburgh's loss to the Bears in Week 12 but managed to play through the issue, and after sitting out Wednesday's session, it appears he's now fully on track for Sunday's game against the Bills. The same can be said for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who sat out Week 12 due to a left wrist fracture but is now practicing in full while wearing a cast. Metcalf has drawn at least seven targets in four of his last five regular-season appearances, giving him a solid floor. That said, Metcalf hasn't scored or topped 50 receiving yards in four straight games, and in back-to-back contests he's finished without so much as a target in the red zone. Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports that Metcalf's left ankle remained taped at Thursday's practice.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Likely to be limited by ankle issue
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that DK Metcalf (ankle) will be a limited participant in practice early in Week 13 prep, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.Metcalf battled an ankle issue during this past Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears, but he still played 61 of the Steelers' 72 snaps on offense on his way to finishing with five catches for 22 yards on eight targets. The injury isn't believed to be anything that will prevent Metcalf from playing this weekend against Buffalo, but he'll likely need to advance to full practice participation by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation.
