Before their pivotal divisional game against the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks were expecting for better news. They are trying to recover from a difficult loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last week.
Superstar wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has struggled with a variety of ailments during the first six weeks of the season, but going into week seven, it seems like he may have a new condition that is severe enough to be a cause for concern.
Pete Carroll, the head coach of the Seahawks, claims that Metcalf is having trouble with his hip, which may prevent him from playing on Sunday in Seattle.
Carroll currently refers to Metcalf as a game-time decision, noting that the wide receiver is still “pretty sore” and “still working at it.”

Metcalf did not participate in the practice sessions on Wednesday or Thursday, but he did work on Friday.
The Seahawks would suffer a significant loss if he is unable to travel. With 337 receiving yards through the team’s first five games, the 25-year-old presently leads the squad in this category. With a 3-2 record at the present, Seattle is positioned second in the NFC West.
