Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, who had not practiced since spraining his right knee in an Oct. 20 game against the Atlanta Falcons, participated fully Wednesday.
Metcalf hopes to return to action when Seattle (4-5) visits the San Francisco 49ers (5-4) on Sunday. He suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in the Seahawks’ 34-14 road win against the Falcons. Seattle then lost home games to the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams before going bye in Week 10.
Metcalf has 35 receptions on 61 targets for 568 yards and three touchdowns in seven games (six starts) this season.
Seattle selected him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss. Metcalf, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, has 407 receptions for 5,900 yards and 46 touchdowns in 89 regular-season games (87 starts). He also has 26 receptions for 451 yards and five touchdowns in four playoff games, all as a starter.
The Seahawks activated right tackle Abraham Lucas from the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday, at the end of their 21-day practice period. Had Lucas not been activated, he would have remained on the physically unable to perform list for the remainder of the season.
Lucas, 26, was a third-round draft pick by the Seahawks in 2022. He started all 22 games in 2022 and 2023, but was limited to six games last season due to a knee injury that required surgery, which placed him on the PUP list.
To make room for Lucas on the 53-man roster, Seattle placed offensive tackle George Fant on injured reserve, which will require him to miss at least four games. Fant, 32, played in two games, both starts, this season before leaving each game with a knee injury.
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said he wasn’t sure if Fant would be able to play again this season.
