DK Metcalf, the wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was given a two-game suspension after making an appearance to punch a fan during the team’s 29-24 win over the Detroit Lions.
Metcalf has the option of appealing his suspension, but he will miss the Steelers’ final two regular-season games if that is unsuccessful. He may also make a play-off return.
In the second half of Ford Field, Metcalf approached the Lions fan who was leaning over the railings at the front of the stand.
He then made an appearance to grab the audience’s blue wig before striking his right fist.
During the coverage of the game, CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson said, “He went over and the fan said something to him.”
Ryan Kennedy, a fan, claimed he called Metcalf after using his full name.
According to Kennedy, “I called him that, and then he grabbed me and ripped my shirt.”
“I’m a little shocked, I must say. I’m being listened to by everyone. I’m a little shivering, but I’m just happy for the Lions to win, baby.
Metcalf continued playing as the Steelers won a third straight game because the officials did not witness the incident. He finished with four catches for 42 yards.
