DK Metcalf makes a faster recovery

Earlier, DK suffered a knee injury last Sunday against the Chargers. Thus, the talented Metcalf became a limited participant in practice. However, he did more than coach Pete Carroll and the doctors had thought. As a result, coach Carroll said the report showed that Metcalf “hurt his patellar some” and that it may be related to an old injury. “He ran around and did some stuff and looked pretty good,’’ coach added.

However, WR, Tyler Lockett is listed as questionable for the game and a limited participant in practice. He came down with a new oblique injury, which the team officially listed as ribs. In a presser, the coach explained they will decide on Lockett only on the game day.

However, a good beginning is not always a ticket to enter the last four. They have a home game against the New York Giants, and a rematch against the Cardinals and both games are equally challenging. Later, they will have a Munich bout with the struggling Buccaneers and the aging legend Tom Brady. Fans would pin their hopes on Metcalf and Co. to increase the points game and to carry the team forward.
