Seahawks WR DK Metcalf having knee surgery

Aug 19, 2019

Seattle coach Pete Carroll told reporters Sunday that D.K. Metcalf needs surgery on his knee. Carroll didn't offer a definitive timetable for the dynamic athlete's return but said he would likely know more after the procedure, which is planned for Tuesday.

"We're disappointed for him because he was off to a fantastic start, but I don't think this is going to derail him for long," Carroll said. "But he does have to have some work done."

Metcalf was having a strong summer for the Seahawks. His fall debut might be delayed as a result. But, the story said Carroll said the team is optimistic Metcalf could still play Week 1. Moore and Brown could see more chances of Metcalf misses time.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
