Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf left Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers with a knee injury, and it sounds like he will miss some more time.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told 710 AM Seattle Sports Station on Monday that Metcalf suffered a patellar tendon injury. The good news is he will not need surgery, but it sounds like it would be a long shot to expect Metcalf to play against the 6-1 New York Giants in Week 8.
Metcalf twisted his knee awkwardly while trying to catch a pass near the sideline in the first half of Seattle’s 37-23 win over the Chargers. He was carted off the field, though he did not look like a player who was concerned that he had just suffered a serious injury.
The Seahawks have exceeded expectations this season with Geno Smith as their starting quarterback. Things would become a little tougher for them if Metcalf is out. Metcalf has 31 catches for 418 yards and two touchdowns this season.
