Metcalf had received four separate fines before Saturday. He most recently received a monetary penalty in Week 6, again for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf: Goes after Fred Warner in Week 14
Metcalf received the early boot last Sunday for a scuffle with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner. Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock threw a late four-quarter interception to Warner, a pass intended for Metcalf. While Metcalf attempted to tackle the ball carrier, Warner pitched the ball to a fellow defender, yet the Seattle superstar still brought the 49ers standout down to the turf. Warner responded by shoving Metcalf into the ground, resulting in the wide receiver chasing down the second-level defender and grabbing him by the facemask. San Francisco defensive back Deommodore Lenoir also got ejected for intervening.
DK Metcalf: Solid 2023 Campaign
Metcalf has 51 receptions for 864 yards and seven touchdowns this season. He had two catches for 52 yards and a score before being ejected in Week 14. The Ole Miss product had a career-high 90 receptions last season. However, his six touchdowns were well under the 12 he scored in 2021. Metcalf is in his fifth NFL season, all with the Seattle Seahawks. Barring an injury or an unforeseen circumstance, Metcalf will eclipse 1,000 yards receiving for the third time in his career this season.
