The Pittsburgh Steelers were likely thrilled to have the opportunity to score veteran safety Damontae Kazee this offseason shortly after the 2022 NFL Draft at a budget price. He was cited as two of the three safeties they were pursuing—the others being Terrell Edmunds and Tyrann Mathieu—as a potential starter, so to have him as depth and as a role player was extremely tempting.
Thanks to a fractured wrist suffered in the preseason, they, unfortunately, had to do without him for the first half of the season, but he is ready to return to finish out the back slate, his arm all screwed up—literally—to protect himself from further injury.
