The Pittsburgh Steelers didn\u2019t get off to the best start in their game in Ireland. They received the opening kickoff in Dublin but were unable to move the ball and did not get a first down. That slow start also meant that star wide receiver DK Metcalf wasn\u2019t involved early in the offense.<\/p>\n
Metcalf, who is known for his size and physical presence on the field, didn\u2019t get any early looks from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings were quick to take advantage and put a field goal on the board.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no reason to worry about Metcalf\u2019s health. He is not injured. He\u2019s simply not been part of the offense yet because the Steelers had a slow start and couldn\u2019t get their plays going.<\/p>\n
This season, Metcalf has a new jersey number with the Steelers. He now wears No. 4, a change from his previous number. Despite the quiet start, he is active and on the field for the game. The only major offensive player who is inactive for Pittsburgh is running back Jaylen Warren.<\/p>\n
Even though Metcalf hasn\u2019t seen many targets yet, his presence gives the Steelers a big weapon to lean on as the game continues. Once the offense starts moving, he will likely become a key part of their plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
