Steelers WR Roman Wilson is expected to miss "a couple of weeks" with the finger injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Colts, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Wilson is still getting a second opinion on the injury. We'll let you know if his timeline changes, but Wilson is not a must-hold on redraft rosters. With WR Michael Pittman on IR and WR Ben Skowronek suffering a calf injury yesterday, the Steelers were down to Brandon Smith as their No. 3 WR. We should see targets condense around WRs D.K. Metcalf and Germie Bernard, TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington, and RB Jaylen Warren in the short term.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss multiple weeks after aggravating his foot injury, HC Mike McCarthy said Thursday. Pittman has totaled just 7 catches for 89 yards across his three games this season and can be dropped from redraft rosters. His absence should mean a boost in playing time for rookie WR Germie Bernard, who registered an 86% route rate and 8 targets when Pittman missed Week 2. Bernard is a fine stash in deeper leagues, but we wouldn't trust him in Week 5 fantasy lineups. WRs D.K. Metcalf and Roman Wilson and TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington could also see more targets with Pittman out.

Update: Pittman has been placed on IR, knocking him out at least through Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye.

Steelers WRs D.K. Metcalf and Michael Pittman are on track to play in the opener vs. the Falcons, GM Omar Khan said Monday. Both guys missed most of August -- Pittman with a hamstring, Metcalf with an undisclosed injury -- but we never got a sense that either issue was serious. Pittsburgh's top 2 targets remain in WR3 territory in our rankings.

Steelers WRs D.K. Metcalf and Michael Pittman will be "hard-pressed" to practice this week, HC Mike McCarthy said Saturday. Pittman went down with an apparent right leg injury a week ago, but we don't have any other details on his status. Metcalf's injury is a total mystery. We'll look for more info on both guys and let you know when they get back on the field. For now, we're not moving either in the WR rankings.

Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf (abdomen) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report for Monday night's game against the Dolphins. He should be ready for his usual role in that one and is safe to get into Week 15 fantasy lineups.

Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf stayed overnight in Baltimore after being checked into a local hospital with stomach pain. There was fear of internal injuries after taking a hard shot in the Steelers Ravens game on Sunday. Ultimately, it was done out of an adbundance of caution and he was released to fly back to Pittsburgh today.

Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Metcalf should be ready for his usual role against the Bills this weekend.

The Seahawks are hiring Klint Kubiak as their OC, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It'll be Kubiak's third OC gig, following stints with the Vikings (2021) and Saints (2024). That Vikings squad finished 12th in total yards and 14th in points. The 2024 Saints got off to a hot start, scoring 91 points over the first two games of the season. But they averaged just 16.5 points per game the rest of the way, due at least in part to injuries to QB Derek Carr and the offensive line. Kubiak's Saints ranked 19th in neutral pass rate and 25th in pass rate over expected. The 2021 Vikings -- quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins -- finished 12th in neutral pass rate and 17th in pass rate over expected. The 2025 Seahawks figure to be a more balanced offense than last year's version, which ranked third in neutral pass rate and sixth in pass rate over expected.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. He's been on the injury report with a shoulder since Week 13 but hasn't missed a game. We're expecting Metcalf to be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings but will keep an eye on him over the next few days.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 14 injury report. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice and should be ready for a full slate of snaps against the Cardinals this weekend.

After being limited on Wednesday, Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday. He was on last week's injury report with a shoulder before playing his usual role in the win over the Jets, so we're expecting Metcalf to be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. But we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) were removed from the final Week 13 injury report. Both guys were sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to full practices on Friday. At this point, there’s no reason to believe that they won’t be ready for their usual roles vs. the Jets on Sunday. We’ll let you know if that changes.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’s ready for a full workload vs. the 49ers on Sunday. Metcalf checks in 14th in the Week 11 WR Rankings.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is "hopeful" to play vs. the Bills this weekend. "The feeling is the injury won't result in an extended absence for Metcalf," Fowler adds. It sounds like Metcalf should at least be back by Week 9, although it's still worth noting that Seattle has a Week 10 bye. We'll track Metcalf's status throughout the rest of this week.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf suffered a knee injury late in the game against the Falcons yesterday and was carted off the field. Despite being carted off, his knee injury is not considered serious. More testing will be done today to understand the full extent.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Falcons with a knee injury. Metcalf has remained on the sidelines, so this doesn't look like a serious injury. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Metcalf wound up getting carted back to the locker room.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (back) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Steelers. He wasn’t on the injury report on Wednesday but then missed the final two practices of the week. HC Pete Carroll said Friday that he expects Metcalf to play, but we’ll look for further updates on his status. We won’t get Seattle’s inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday with a back issue. We'll look for more details on his status and check to see how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports that Seahawks QB Geno Smith aggravated his groin injury and now has an "uphill battle" to play vs. the Eagles on Monday night. It sounds like we should expect QB Drew Lock to start that one. We're updating Seattle projections now.
