Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf missed practice for the fourth consecutive time due to a Grade 1 knee sprain sustained two weeks ago, but coach Mike Macdonald remains optimistic about his potential return for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Macdonald expressed confidence that Metcalf could practice Thursday, stating, "Guy is doing a great job, confident," and emphasized a day-by-day approach to his recovery. Metcalf's absence was notably felt during the Seahawks' recent 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, where the offense struggled without his deep threat capabilities. Although Metcalf missed only the second game of his six-year NFL career, the Seahawks are eager for his return, given his impressive season stats, ranking 15th in receptions and 8th in receiving yards. Additionally, cornerback Devon Witherspoon missed practice with a new injury, while other players, including Laviska Shenault Jr. and Leonard Williams, were also sidelined. The team is closely monitoring Metcalf's status leading up to the weekend matchup.
