DK Metcalf News: Plays through ankle issue

Metcalf recorded five receptions on eight targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears. He added two rushes for 12 yards and a touchdown.

Metcalf led the Steelers in targets but had a quiet game with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) sidelined and Mason Rudolph under center. His longest catch of the day went for only eight yards, and his lone deep target was picked off. Metcalf saved his performance with a six-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter-- his first score since Week 8. Metcalf also battled an ankle injury for much of the second and third quarters. While he didn't miss a significant amount of time in the loss, his practice status will be worth monitoring ahead of Pittsburgh's Week 13 matchup against the Bills.
