Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf will not face criminal charges stemming from an altercation with a Detroit Lions fan, Ryan Kennedy, during a game on December 21, 2023. The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office in Michigan announced its decision after reviewing stadium video footage and interviewing witnesses. They concluded that Kennedy did not appear to be injured and did not seek medical attention following the incident. Despite the lack of criminal charges, Metcalf faced disciplinary action from the NFL, receiving a suspension for the final two games of the regular season. Following the prosecutor's announcement, Metcalf shared a reflective Bible verse on social media, expressing gratitude for overcoming fears. Meanwhile, Kennedy has filed a defamation lawsuit against Metcalf, which remains unresolved.
