Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Unlikely to play in preseason
Metcalf isn't likely to play in any games this preseason, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said joint practices with the Titans this week will be the best opportunity for Metcalf and other top players to solidify their knowledge of the new offense brought in by coordinator Ryan Grubb. The Seahawks opted for personnel continuity on offense this offseason, apart from some discount signings for the O-line, so they're counting on Grubb to improve a unit that finished middle of the pack in most efficiency stats last year. A faster-paced offense could help Metcalf and other key players score more fantasy points, after the Seahawks finished 32nd, 22nd and 32nd in overall play volume the past three seasons under former head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. There's certainly no lack of skill-position talent, with Metcalf joined by WRs Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, RBs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet and TE Noah Fant.
