          PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf remained in Baltimore overnight after experiencing stomach pains on the team plane.

          Metcalf, who had a season-high 148 yards on seven catches in the win against the Ravens, was sent to a Baltimore-area hospital for evaluation by team medical personnel out of an abundance of caution, Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten said in a statement.

          Metcalf is scheduled to return to Pittsburgh on Monday.

          The Steelers host the Miami Dolphins on "Monday Night Football" in Week 15, giving Metcalf a longer week before he's scheduled to be back on the field.
