Steelers say DK Metcalf will play, Pat Freiermuth is questionable with calf injury
The Pittsburgh Steelers have cleared wide receiver DK Metcalf to play in Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ending his earlier designation as questionable due to illness. Metcalf’s return adds a key offensive weapon for a Steelers team looking to improve its 3-2 record, especially after a slow start to the season.
Meanwhile, tight end Pat Freiermuth has been listed as questionable for the game after suffering a calf injury, though the circumstances surrounding the injury remain unclear. Freiermuth, who was not previously on the injury report, poses a significant question mark for Pittsburgh’s offensive line-up, where his contributions have been vital.
The Steelers enter the game as 2.5-point favorites, aiming to extend their winning streak against the Buccaneers, who sit at 1-4 on the season.
