- Steelers WR DK Metcalf remains silent on incident with Lions fan
It didn't take long for reporters to address the Ryan Kennedy-sized elephant in the room with wide receiver DK Metcalf , who returned from his two-game suspension following the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 18 victory over the Baltimore Ravens .
On Monday, PennLive's Nick Farabaugh reported on a situation in which Metcalf was asked to clarify what happened in the physical altercation between himself and Kennedy, the Lions fan he put hands on in Week 16.

"You had to be the one that asked, huh?" Metcalf said. "No, I can't."
Another reporter asked Metcalf if he could walk them through the appeals process for his suspension.
"I can't walk y'all through nothing that happened," Metcalf said.
He was subsequently asked if he was surprised by the NFL's decision to uphold his suspension.
"Yeah, but that's all I can say," Metcalf reiterated.
Two more reporters attempted to ask questions related to the incident with Kennedy, which left Metcalf frustrated.
"I can't say nothing about what happened," Metcalf said. "I can't say anything about what happened, for the fifth time."
Following the exchange, the media appeared to take the hint and moved on to other, non-Kennedy-related questions.

With potential legal ramifications looming, this may not be the last we hear of Metcalf's involvement in the physical altercation with Kennedy, but the Steelers wide receiver is no doubt looking to put this situation in the rearview mirror as Pittsburgh gears up for their first home playoff game since the 2020 season.
