BOTHELL — Many in the crowd that began filling Pop Kenney Stadium for Saturday’s Seahawks mock game more than hour before it was set to begin likely came hoping to see what heralded rookie receiver DK Metcalf could do in what would have been his first game-like situation in a Seattle uniform.
But the wait for a public debut of Metcalf in a Seattle uniform will have to wait as Metcalf watched from the sidelines due to what coach Pete Carroll called “a little oblique strain’’ suffered on the last play in practice on Friday.
Carroll also said Metcalf has been “banged up on a couple of things’’ in practices of late, so the team thought it a good idea to hold him Saturday, and with an off day Sunday hope that two days off will allow him to return on Monday.
