The two-game suspension for what the NFL terms "conduct detrimental" to the league now voids at least $45 million in future guaranteed money for the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver. Metcalf would still be able to earn that money over the next two years.

PITTSBURGH — DK Metcalf’s regular season is over. Following an appeals hearing, the NFL upheld the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver’s two-game suspension for “initiating a physical confrontation with a fan.” Metcalf will miss the Steelers’ Week 17 and Week 18 games. He’s eligible to return in the postseason, if the Steelers qualify.

The incident occurred in the second quarter of Sunday's game. While the Lions' offense was on the field, Metcalf approached a fan sitting in the front row and wearing a blue wig. After exchanging words with the fan, Metcalf appeared to throw a punch at the fan's head.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf had $45 million in guarantees in his contract voided as part of his suspension, though the Steelers are not moving on from him anytime soon.

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver D.K. Metcalf's appeal didn't work, but it cause the NFL to follow up with the Lions about the fan's punishment.

“I got word, obviously, I’m not condoning putting your hands on a fan or punching a fan, but he did call [Metcalf] a racial slur,” Johnson told his co-host Shannon Sharpe. “He called him the N-word, and he did call his mom a [expletive]. I think with those words being exchanged and the fan saying that, that’s where the action occurred.”

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has been suspended two games without pay by the NFL for "initiating a physical confrontation with a fan" during Sunday’s game at the Detroit Lions, the league announced on Monday.

A new update has emerged on the incident between Detroit Lions fan Ryan Kennedy and Pittsburgh Stlers wideout DK Mtcalf.
