• Steelers' Damontae Kazee: Sees reduced role in 2024

  01/22/2025 • By RotoWire

  Kazee finished the 2024 regular season with 31 tackles (22 solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, over 15 games. Kazee started just one game this season after working mostly as a starter last year. Predictably, his numbers plummeted, though he still managed to record a pickoff for the fourth straight campaign. Kazee is set to become a free agent, and though he's been steady regardless of his role while with Pittsburgh, it's unclear if he'll be back with the Steelers next season.

  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.
