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.

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.

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.

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.

Kazee will be out for the remainder of the regular season after the NFL upheld his three-game suspension Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Kazee was handed the three-game ban after he flagged and ejected for an illegal hit to the head of Colts wideout Michael Pittman in this past Saturday's 30-13 loss to Indianapolis. Pittman left the game and was later placed in concussion protocol, and since Kazee had previously been fined five times this season for unnecessary roughness penalties, the league factored the safety's history of unsportsmanlike play into the decision to suspend him. Kazee will be eligible to return to action in the postseason, should the Steelers qualify.
