• Seahawks wide receiver left the field on Sunday for reasons that were initially undisclosed.
• Eventually, the reasons were disclosed: The man had to go to the bathroom, and had been offered a ride back to the locker room to relieve himself.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf gave some fans watching at home a bit of a scare on Sunday when he was carted off the field during the second half against the Detroit Lions.

With no clear injury suffered, people were left to wonder what had happened to Metcalf, and wished him well in his recovery.

But as sideline reporter Jen Hale would later explain, Metcalf wasn't suffering any direct injury, but simply had to go to the bathroom.

The update from the sidelines left commentators Chris Myers and Robert Smith absolutely tickled.

On Twitter, fans had a bit of fun at Metcalf's expense.

For what it's worth, Metcalf had good reason to use the cart, as it is a long journey from the sideline to the locker room in Detroit according to ESPN's Field Yates.

Metcalf finished the game with seven receptions for 149 yards, helping to lead the Seahawks to a 48-45 win over the Lions.

After the game, Metcalf confirmed the nature of his emergency exit.

Stars, they're just like us!
