DK Metcalf Injury: Likely on track to play Monday

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he doesn't expect Metcalf's (stomach) availability for the team's Week 15 game against the Dolphins to be in any peril, though the wideout's practice reps could be affected, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

Following a stellar outing in the Steelers' Week 14 win over the Ravens in which he caught seven of 12 targets for a season-high 148 receiving yards, Metcalf was admitted to a Baltimore-area hospital when he reported stomach pain on the team flight. Metcalf's stomach discomfort appeared to stem from a hard shot he took during Sunday's game, but a significant internal injury was seemingly ruled out following his hospital stay. Tomlin intimated that Metcalf will open Week 15 prep as a limited participant, but the early expectation is that he'll be cleared to handle his usual duties as the Steelers' No. 1 receiver by the time Monday's game arrives.
