After the Seahawks’ season ended, there were questions as to whether or not wide receiver D.K. Metcalf would undergo foot surgery. It turns out the answer to that question is yes, as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweets that Metcalf did indeed have a minor procedure recently.

Rapoport adds that the procedure was simply a matter of removing a screw in his injured foot, which had been put there during a previous surgery. That should help his chances of rebounding from his 2021 season, which, while still productive by any objective measure, was a step back from his previous campaign.
Dealing with the pain in his foot all year, the 24-year-old totalled 75 catches for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns. In comparison, he put up 83 receptions for 1,303 yards and 10 majors in 2020. In spite of the foot ailment – along with the overall injury concerns that surrounded him leading up to his selection in the second round of the 2019 Draft – Metcalf has yet to miss a game in his three-year career.
Assuming Metcalf is fully healed by the start of the 2022 season, he should be able to continue as one of the most unique, and most effective, receivers in the league. Providing a compliment to the style of fellow starter Tyler Lockett, the two could play a large role in helping the Seahawks return to playoff contention next year.
He put up 10 majors huh
10 MAJOR temper tantrums that is. Get rid of that loose screw and get back to getting it done again
What are you even talking about? He is one of the elite young talents at the WR position in the NFL. You would have to be insane to get rid of him.
He’s great. And he’s a cry baby. Not unusual at that position.
drafting DK saved John and Pete’s jobs. He can cry if he wants to!
