Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf did not travel back to Pittsburgh with the team after Sunday’s 27-22 win.
The team confirmed, via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, that Metcalf remained in Baltimore after experiencing stomach pains . Metcalf went to a hospital for evaluation before sleeping in a hotel and he is expected to return home on Monday.
Metcalf’s hospital visit was to rule out any significant internal injuries resulting from a hit he took while catching seven passes for 148 yards from Aaron Rodgers.
The coming days will provide more of an idea about Metcalf’s availability for Week 15 and the Steelers will have an extra day to assess where things stand before they play the Dolphins next Monday night.
