Seahawks WR DK Metcalf says he played through foot injury in 2021

After posting a picture of his left foot in a protective boot on Instagram, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf confirmed that he had played through an injury throughout the 2021 season and had surgery on his foot following its conclusion.

The third-year wideout sat down with reporter Taylor Rooks to briefly discuss the process of his rehabilitation and his current state of mind.

“I just started walking on it a couple days ago,” Metcalf said. “My rehab’s going to be like another month before I’m full go.”

Metcalf told Rooks that he kept quiet about his injury because it did not bother him enough to miss time on the field and he intended to wind down after the season ended.

“I don’t think it affected me that much. I missed a practice day a week when I found out what happened to my foot, but it really didn’t affect me that much.”

Metcalf is entering a contract year, so the Seahawks must make a decision on his future in the coming months. He will hopefully remain in the Emerald City, but he could ask for top dollar given his production over his first three seasons and we will see whether or not Seattle decides to pony up.
