Is DK Metcalf playing today? (Latest injury update for Cardinals vs. Seahawks in NFL Week 7)
By Peter Dewey
UPDATE: Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf is a true game-time decision in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals due to a rib injury, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Metcalf has not missed a game this season because of his rib, but it appears he’ll need to get through a pre-game workout before a final decision is made on his status.
If he misses this game, Tyler Lockett would become the No. 1 option for the Seahawks in the passing game.

Metcalf is listed as questionable for Week 7 against Arizona, but he’s a game-time decision.
Best Tyler Lockett prop bet for Week 7 vs. Cardinals
Tyler Lockett OVER 57.5 receiving yards
Even if Metcalf plays, it’s hard to see him taking on a full workload if he’s this up in the air for Week 7.
That could mean a major role for Lockett, who picked up 94 receiving yards in his last game on six receptions.
While Lockett has only cleared this line two times this season, he’s put up 54 or more receiving yards on three occasions, and that comes with Metcalf playing a major role.
I think Lockett is worth a shot to light up a suspect Arizona secondary.
