The Facts: Metcalf was back on the practice field with the Seahawks on Monday just two weeks after a minor surgery on his knee. “He looked good today,” HC Pete Carroll said on Monday. “He had a fantastic recovery. If you can imagine, it was just a couple weeks ago. Fantastic recovery. He looked great out there and today, he was running. He practiced with us throughout the practice.”
Diehards Line:Metcalf had surgery on his knee on Aug. 20 after being held out of the team’s second preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. HC Pete Carroll always said they expected Metcalf to make a quick recovery but there hasn’t been any certainty that Metcalf would be back in time for the team’s regular season opener Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. His return to practice on Monday is a good sign that he could available for Sunday’s game. If he can practice again on Wednesday without any issues surfacing, it would seem to be a good indication he’ll be ready to go for Sunday’s game.
