According to Tom Pelissero, the NFL is suspending Steelers S Damontae Kazee for the remainder of the regular season and postseason for repeated violations of the player safety rules.
Kazee was ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. this past weekend and he has been fined about a half-dozen times this season for similar infractions.
Kazee, 30, was a fifth-round pick by the Falcons out of San Diego State back in 2017. He signed a four-year, $2.68 million contract with the team that included a signing bonus of $288,922.
Kazee played out the final year of his rookie contract and was set to visit with the Lions before deciding to sign with Dallas in 2021.
The Steelers signed Kazee to a one-year deal last April and he returned on another one-year deal for the 2023 season.
In 2023, Kazee appeared in 14 games for the Steelers and recorded 61 total tackles, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and three pass defenses.
