Doesn't practice due to illness
Published: 2024-11-28
Kazee (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Kazee didn't have a designation on Wednesday's estimated practice report, so his illness appears to have recently emerged. It's unclear at this point if the safety is at risk of missing Sunday's Week 13 game versus Cincinnati. Kazee has been used in a rotational role this season, as he hasn't logged more than 36 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps in any game so far.
Full practice Thursday
Published: 2024-10-24
Kazee (ankle) was a full participant at the Steelers' practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Kazee is all set to return to the field in Week 8 after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. The 31-year-old could step into a starting role at strong safety with DeShon Elliott (back) banged up ahead of Pittsburgh's matchup versus the Giants on Monday Night Football.
Unavailable for SNF
Published: 2024-10-20
Kazee (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Jets.
Kazee will be forced to miss a second straight game as he continues to nurse an ankle injury that he suffered ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Cowboys. Terrell Edmunds and Miles Killebrew will likely see an uptick in usage again in Week 7 versus New York.
Gets questionable tag
Published: 2024-10-19
Kazee (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jets, Burt reports.'
Kazee is coming off his first missed game of the season and in danger of missing his second. His final status will depend on how his ankle is feeling closer to kickoff. Miles Killebrew and Terrell Edmunds would be candidates to back up DeShon Elliott at strong safety if Kazee is unable to get the green light.
Out against Raiders
Published: 2024-10-11
Kazee (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Pittsburgh's official site reports.
Kazee will miss his first matchup of the season after hurting his ankle during pregame warmups last week against Dallas. The 5-foot-11 safety has eight tackles (seven solo) and one interception on the season, with the bulk of his field time being spent on special teams.
Unlikely to play at Raiders
Published: 2024-10-08
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Kazee (ankle) is doubtful to play in Week 6 at Las Vegas, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Kazee suffered an ankle injury during pregame warmups before Sunday's tilt versus Dallas, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. It looks like he might have to sit out for at least one game as he deals with it. In his absence, Terrell Edmunds may see increased snaps.
Suspension lifted
Published: 2024-01-08
The Steelers activated Kazee from the reserve-suspended list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Kazee was suspended for three games after an illegal hit to the head of Michael Pittman in Week 15 against the Colts. Because the Steelers qualified for the postseason, Kazee will be able to suit up for the team's playoff game against the Bills on Sunday. The 2017 fifth-round pick accumulated 61 tackles (46 solo), three passes defended, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries over 14 games in the regular season.
Suspension upheld
Published: 2023-12-20
Kazee had his suspension upheld by the league Wednesday, sidelining him for the remainder of the 2023 regular season, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Kazee will miss the Steelers' three remaining contests in 2023, but he is eligible to return for the postseason if the team makes it. In the meantime, Miles Killebrew will likely handle the primary duties at starting strong safety for Pittsburgh.
