Report: Seahawks' DK Metcalf Had Foot Surgery to Remove Screw; Had Injury All Season
Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf underwent foot surgery following the 2021 season.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport shared a picture from Metcalf's social media Tuesday and noted the procedure removed a screw from his foot that "bothered" him throughout the season:
Metcalf first discussed the surgery in an interview with Bleacher Report's Taylor Rooks last weekend:
Metcalf finished the 2021 campaign with 75 receptions for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns.
It was his third NFL season, and he has yet to miss a game after the Seahawks selected him with a second-round pick in 2019.
He apparently played through pain during the 2021 season given Rapoport's update, but the timing of this procedure for what was described as a "minor issue" suggests he will be back on the field as Seattle's go-to option in the passing attack once again in 2022.
