RENTON — Any question Seahawks coaches may have had whether rookie receiver DK Metcalf is ready to play in Thursday’s first preseason game was answered emphatically during Tuesday’s practice.
In short succession during a full-team session late in practice, Metcalf first beat starting right cornerback Tre Flowers to acrobatically snare a pass down the sidelines on a fade route from Russell Wilson and then hold on as he fell to the ground, then beat starting left cornerback Shaquill Griffin on another deep pass down the sidelines from Wilson.
Metcalf didn’t take part in Saturday’s “mock game” while dealing with a minor oblique injury.
