The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated wide receiver DK Metcalf to their 53-man roster on January 7, 2026, after his temporary exemption expired, following the team's earlier waiver of cornerback Tre Flowers to create space. Metcalf returns from a two-game suspension ahead of the Wild Card playoff game against the Houston Texans.
