Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans understands the challenge his team will have defending Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf, who will be back with the team after a two-game suspension. While speaking to reporters on Thursday, Ryans discussed the threat Metcalf poses when the Texans face the Steelers in the wild-card round of the playoffs Monday night.
“He lines up as an outside receiver. He does an outstanding job of just playing physical,” DeMeco Ryans said of Metcalf, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. “That’s the one thing that sticks out for me with him. He’s a physical receiver, whether he’s running the go balls, slants, whatever it looks like, he plays physical. So we have to challenge him.
“We have to step up to the challenge there. We have to play physical as well vs. him. It’s going to be a tough challenge. He’s done a great job his entire career of making big plays down the field. I know they’re excited to get him back.”
