Steelers' DK Metcalf: Inefficient with team-high target total
Metcalf secured four of 10 targets for 40 yards in the Steelers' 20-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Metcalf's target total led the Steelers by a fairly comfortable margin, but the talented receiver brought in less than half of them and finished behind both Michael Pittman and Pat Freiermuth in receiving yards. The amount of attention Metcalf drew from Aaron Rodgers was nevertheless encouraging, and the valuable experience the duo garnered from working together all of last season could pay big dividends in 2026. A Week 2 road matchup against the Patriots will present less than ideal circumstances, however, as Metcalf is likely to draw plenty of coverage from shutdown cornerback Christian Gonzalez.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Not listed on Wednesday's injury report
Metcalf (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Steelers' first Week 1 injury report Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Neither Metcalf nor fellow WR Michael Pittman (hamstring) showed up on Wednesday's report after both players missed a good portion of training camp and the entire preseason slate due to health concerns. Now that Metcalf is back to 100 percent, he and Pittman are ready to take on a good portion of QB Aaron Rodgers' passes Sunday against the Falcons.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Expected to be ready for Week 1
Metcalf (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Falcons, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Metcalf has dealt with an undisclosed injury for much of training camp, but he returned to practice last week and is expected to be ready when the games count. He'll be looking for a bounce-back 2026 season after he produced just 59 catches for 850 yards and six touchdowns across 15 regular-season contests last season, his first season with the Steelers. Metcalf is facing added competition for targets in the form of Michael Pittman (hamstring), who also is expected to be ready for the Week 1 opener.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Agrees to restructured contract
Metcalf (undisclosed) has agreed to a restructured contract with the Steelers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Metcalf signed a four-year, $132 million contract with the Steelers in March of 2025, and the revamp of the deal coverts a portion of his base salary into a signing bonus while opening up "nearly $18 million" in 2026 cap space for Pittsburgh. Metcalf has been slowed by an unspecified injury during training camp, but he practiced Monday and will be aiming to bounce back after finishing with a career-low 850 receiving yards over 15 regular-season games in 2025.

Steelers' DK Metcalf: Says he's fine, no long-term concern
Metcalf (undisclosed) said Wednesday that he's "fine" and isn't concerned about his status for Week 1, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.
Metcalf has missed more than a week of practice due to an undisclosed injury, a stretch that included the Steelers' preseason opener against the Packers last Thursday. At the same time, fellow WR Michael Pittman also has been sidelined with a hamstring issue. Pittsburgh likely will continue to take a cautious approach with its top two pass catchers with the Sept. 13 Week 1 matchup with the Falcons in mind.
