Source: Seahawks' DK Metcalf week-to-week with MCL sprain

Seattle Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf has a Grade 1 MCL sprain, but the injury is not expected to sideline him for an extended period of time.

“Schedule, I’m not sure,” coach Mike Macdonald said Monday. “It doesn't look like it's a long-term injury and I know you know DK, we know DK, he'll probably do everything humanly possible to be able to play in this game, I would imagine. We'll judge.” It's how the week unfolds here.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Metcalf is being considered on a week-to-week basis.

Metcalf, whose 568 receiving yards this season are the second-most in the NFL, was injured in the second half of the Seahawks' win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday and did not return.

Metcalf was injured late in the third quarter after falling hard while attempting a catch. The Fox broadcast later showed a replay of the receiver backing away in discomfort as the Seahawks' team doctor moved his right knee while examining it on the sideline.

It was announced that Metcalf's return was questionable. Midway through the fourth quarter, he was taken to the locker room in the back of an injury cart with an ice bandage over his right knee.

Before his injury, Metcalf caught four passes for 99 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown late in the first half. He has three touchdowns on 35 catches in seven games as well as two lost fumbles.
