Is DK Metcalf playing tonight?

Yes, DK Metcalf is playing tonight against the San Francisco 49ers. The two-time Pro Bowler has shaken off a hand injury, an, barring any unforeseen scenarios, will catch passes from Geno Smith in Lumen Field versus the San Francisco 49ers.

Metcalf appeared on the Seattle Seahawks injury report due to a niggling hand injury. The veteran wideout missed one practice session during Week 3 preparations due to a hand issue, but otherwise he has been a consistent participant in team training and games.

However, the Seahawks have their fair share of injuries to worry about in Week 6. The franchise will be without defensive tackle Byron Murphy II (hamstring), linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (thigh) and cornerback Riq Woolen (wrist). Linebackers Derick Hall (foot) and Boye Mafe (knee) and free safety Julian Love (hamstring) are listed as questionable.

Thankfully, Geno Smith should have a good complement of wide receivers to throw to, as Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Laviska Shenault Jr., Jake Bobo and Dareke Young are fit and ready to play.
