The Seattle Seahawks will play the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday after regrouping on their bye in Week 10. Seattle is currently sitting at the bottom of the NFC West division with a 4-5 record, but they still have a good chance at climbing in the standings if they start to win games. However, one of their offensive stars is dealing with a knee injury that has him limited in practice, leaving his status for this Sunday in question.
Seattle Seahawks Star Listed As Questionable
According to multiple reports, Seahawks star receiver DK Metcalf was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury. Metcalf suffered an MCL sprain in Week seven and missed the last two games before the team’s bye week.
Head coach Mike McDonald was optimistic about his star receiver’s readiness after the bye week, and his return to practice as a limited participant is the first step in the right direction. The receiver appears to be trending in the right direction to play this weekend, but it is a great possibility that the Seahawks will hold him out of one more game if he is not in full health.
DK Metcalf Impact
Despite not playing in a game since October 20, Metcalf has amounted to 568 receiving yards and three touchdowns this year. He has been one of the biggest difference-makers for the Seattle offense, and losing every game since his absence has shown just how important he is in the passing attack.
His return to the lineup this week will be crucial if they want to take down a 49ers team who is starting to get fully healthy again.
