DK Metcalf took to Twitter Sunday night to clear the air on his attention-grabbing exit from Sunday’s 48–45 victory over the Lions.
The Seahawks star hitched a ride on an injury cart to the locker room for an impromptu bathroom break in the fourth quarter, prompting a bevy of jokes on social media. He eventually returned to the field on a return trip via the cart.
After the game, Metcalf explained the exact reason behind why he needed to be carted off the sidelines. His answer?
“That clinch walk wouldn’t have made it,” he tweeted.
