Steelers’ Damontae Kazee suspended for season; Minkah Fitzpatrick out vs. Bengals due to injury

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without both of their starting safeties in Week 16 when they host the Cincinnati Bengals.

Damontae Kazee was just suspended for the remainder of the 2023 NFL season due to repeated violations of playing rules. Kazee was ejected from the team’s Week 15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts following a hard hit that knocked wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. out of the game.

Here’s the report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The NFL is suspending #Steelers safety Damontae Kazee without pay for the remainder of the regular season and any potential postseason games for repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players.
