With just over two weeks remaining between now and the start of the NFL regular season, the fact that Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf just underwent knee surgery sounds pretty concerning on the surface.

But Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll doesn't sound too worried.

“It was a minimal surgery and minimal findings, so we have high expectations,” Carroll said, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. “We’ll go week-to-week with it, see how he does. We really don’t have any concern that he won’t get back soon. We’re excited that we got it done. It was the kind of deal that we could have put off and waited, but we thought we’d use the time frame that we had available and hopefully it’ll work out just right for us.”

This falls right in line with Seattle's optimism before the surgery that Metcalf would be good to go relatively soon.

Metcalf, who played his collegiate football at the University of Mississippi, was selected by the Seahawks in the second round (64th pick overall) of the NFL Draft back in April.

He wasn't actually all that productive in college, as a neck injury prematurely ended his final season at Mississippi this past year. He played in seven games during what was his sophomore campaign, catching 26 passes for 569 yards and five touchdowns.

However, due to his size and remarkable athletic ability, scouts are salivating over his potential, with some comparing him to Josh Gordon.

One thing is for sure: with the loss of Doug Baldwin, Seattle is in desperate need of receiving help behind Tyler Lockett, and the Seahawks are hoping that Metcalf can provide that.
