When the Pittsburgh Steelers hit the field inside Acrisure Stadium Sunday to open up Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints, it will be the first time that the defense has been fully healthy since the final preseason game, at the very least, thanks in large part to the impending returns of star outside linebacker T.J. Watt and veteran safety Damontae Kazee.
Kazee and Watt, both of whom have been on the Reserve/Injured list this season, should be activated this week to the 53-man roster for the Week 10 matchup against the Saints. Kazee has been out since final roster cuts after suffering a serious forearm injury in the final preseason game against the Detroit Lions, while Watt has been out since Week 2 after suffering a pectoral injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 1 overtime win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
