This happened during the second quarter of the Steelers’ 29-24 win over the Lions on Sunday afternoon.
The AP said that Metcalf did not appear to make much, if any, contact.
“I heard about it, but I hadn’t seen it,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “I hadn’t had an opportunity to talk to DK.”
No penalty flag was thrown on the field after the incident.
The NFL said it will review the incident, and Metcalf could be disciplined, the AP said.
He caught four passes for 42 yards against Detroit.
