Steelers' Kyle Dugger: Second wind with Pittsburgh
Dugger compiled 59 total tackles (29 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed, two of which were interceptions, over 16 contests during the 2025 regular season.
Dugger entered the 2025 campaign in his sixth season with the Patriots, but he was traded to the Steelers in late October after being used sparingly in New England. The safety was thrust into a prominent role in Pittsburgh's secondary, notching 42 total takedowns and two interceptions, including a 73-yard pick-six in Week 11 against the Bengals, while also adding three other passes defensed over nine regular-season games with the team. Dugger is still under contract for two more years after inking a four-year, $58 million contract with the Patriots in 2024, and he'll likely have a strong chance to start in the Steelers' secondary next season.

Steelers' Kyle Dugger: Picks off Sanders in Week 17 loss
Dugger recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one interception during the Steelers' 13-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Dugger's eight tackles Sunday were a season high, and he nabbed his second interception of the season when he jumped in front of a pass from Shedeur Sanders intended for Jerry Jeudy early in the fourth quarter. Since being traded by the Patriots to the Steelers in October, Dugger has logged 40 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and five pass defenses (including one interception and a pick-six) across eight regular-season games with Pittsburgh.

Steelers' Kyle Dugger: Logs sack vs. Detroit
Dugger tallied seven tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Pittsburgh's win versus the Lions on Sunday.
Dugger had his best performance of the campaign during the victory, as he racked up a season-high seven tackles in addition to recording his first sack. The 2020 second-round pick has compiled just 32 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception across seven outings, but he'll look to be more productive across the final two games of the season.

Steelers' Kyle Dugger: Full participant Thursday
Dugger (hand) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Dugger missed last Sunday's loss to the Ravens due to a hand injury, but the safety has bounced back and has been cleared of any injury designation before Monday's game against the Dolphins. The 2020 second-round pick is set to suit up Monday as the starting strong safety alongside Jalen Ramsey, looking to get back to the 99 percent-or-higher defensive snap share he's logged since Week 6.

Steelers' Kyle Dugger: DNP on Thursday
Duggar (hand) did not practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Duggar popped up on the injury report Thursday with a hand injury, and the inability to practice may be a sign he will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Ravens. The strong safety played 99 percent of defensive snaps in last Sunday's game against the Bills and logged five tackles (one solo) in the loss. If Dugger is ultimately unable to play, Chuck Clark will likely start Sunday against Baltimore.

Steelers' Kyle Dugger: Ruled out for Sunday
Dugger (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Dugger was a recent addition to the injury report on Thursday with a hand injury and was unable to practice due to the issue. In the absence of the defensive back, Chuck Clark will likely start at strong safety. It is also worth considering, based on the Steelers' willingness to move Jalen Ramsey to safety, that recently signed Asante Samuel may also see some reps across from the former cornerback in the deeper portions of the field.

Steelers' Kyle Dugger: Returns pick for TD
Dugger recorded three tackles (all solo) and an interception, which he returned for a touchdown, in Sunday's 34-12 win over Cincinnati.
With Pittsburgh ahead by just four points and the Bengals driving late in the third quarter, Dugger intercepted a Joe Flacco pass intended for Tee Higgins and returned it 73 yards for a touchdown. It was Dugger's first pickoff as a member of the Steelers and his first touchdown since he scored three times with New England in 2022. Since being traded to Pittsburgh on Oct. 28, Dugger has posted 12 tackles and two defensed passes over three contests.
