Cam Heyward is about to wrap up his 15th NFL season playing for the Steelers. As such he’s earned veteran status in the locker room and is something of a spokesperson for Pittsburgh. So it was notable when he chose to weigh in on the DK Metcalf situation with something of a thoughtful take on Wednesday.
Metcalf was suspended by the NFL for two games after a physical altercation with a fan in the stands during the Steelers’ win over the Lions on Sunday. He appealed the suspension but it was upheld and won’t be permitted to take the field for Pittsburgh over the final two weeks of the regular season. If the Steelers clinch a playoff spot then Metcalf can return for postseason play but he won’t be there to help his team push for the AFC North title.
