[ad_1] Brooke Pryor, ESPN Staff WriterDec 20, 2023, 08:31 PM ETClosePreviously covered the Kansas City Chiefs for the Kansas City Star and Oklahoma University for the Oklahoman.PITTSBURGH -- The NFL upheld Steelers safety Damontae Kazee's regular-season suspension after hearing officer James Thrash, jointly appointed by the NFL and the NFL Players Association, heard Kazee's appeal, the league announced Wednesday night.If the Steelers (7-7) make the playoffs, though, the safety would be eligible to rejoin the active roster.Kazee was suspended without pay for the final three regular-season games after a hard hit on Michael Pittman Jr. that landed the Indianapolis Colts wide receiver in the concussion protocol. Kazee was flagged and ejected for the hit during Saturday's matchup. The NFL announced Monday that Kazee was suspended for repeated violation of rules meant to protect the health and safety of players.Kazee had previously been fined five times this season for unnecessary roughness, and his status as a repeat offender factored into the decision to levy the harsh punishment. He will lose roughly $208,000 in salary.Editor's Picks1 Related"When players violate the rules intended to protect player safety on a repeated basis, and particularly when the violations carry with them a significant risk of injury to an opposing player, it is appropriate to impose substantially greater penalties," NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan wrote in a letter to Kazee.Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin stuck up for his player on Monday, saying Kazee isn't a "dirty player.""Usually, I talk about lowering the target," Tomlin said when asked about coaching points he gives his safeties. "The target was low, and both guys were going. It was just unfortunate. I know he is not a dirty player. He doesn't aspire to do some of the things that came to light under those circumstances."Sometimes, it's just professional football today and how difficult it is to operate, but the National Football League is really clear, man. They put a hundred percent of the onus on the defender in those circumstances. It's unfortunate, but we understand it."In addition to losing Kazee to the suspension, the Steelers will be without their other starting safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who is unavailable due to a knee injury sustained against the Colts. With a depleted safety group, cornerback Patrick Peterson is moving to safety. [ad_2] Source link

[tsportsday]

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee might argue that he was going for the ball on a brutal hit Saturday, but he'd be arguing that to himself in the locker room.Kazee was ejected for a huge hit on Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. in the second quarter. Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew II led Pittman too much, putting him in a vulnerable position. Kazee met Pittman when the ball got there, and Pittman stayed down after a violent collision.Officials gave Kazee a 15-yard penalty and ejected him. Pittman was ruled out with a concussion before the end of the second quarter.Pittman was down for a while, and his teammates came on the field and stood around him. He got up and went to the sideline under his own power and then was evaluated for a concussion.Defensive players might argue that there was nothing else Kazee could do in that situation except let Pittman catch the ball. But it was a rough hit, and officials didn't hesitate to eject Kazee for it.

If Steelers Are Able To Keep Secondary Together, Cam Sutton Says 2022 Could Be ‘Stepping Stone’ To Bigger Things

[ad_1] USATSI Damontae Kazee will miss the final three games of the regular season after the Pittsburgh Steelers safety lost his appeal with the league over his suspension handed down earlier this week. The NFL banned Kazee for the remainder of the season following his helmet-to-helmet hit on Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. in the Steelers' 30-13 loss on the road in Week 15. Kazee can return for the playoffs if the 7-7 Steelers quality for postseason play. In a letter to Kazee, NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan wrote the following statement:"With 8:49 remaining in the second quarter, you were involved in a play that the League considers a serious violation of the playing rules. The video of the play shows that you delivered a forcible blow to the head/neck area of Colts' receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who was in a defenseless posture. You had an unobstructed path to your opponent and the illegal contact could have been avoided. Your actions were flagrant, and as a result, you were disqualified from the game. When players violate the rules intended to protect player safety on a repeated basis, and particularly when the violations carry with them a significant risk of injury to an opposing player, it is appropriate to impose substantially greater penalties."The hit, shown in the video below, occurred as Kazee flew downfield to pop Pittman in the head and neck area as the receiver attempted to come down with the football.  The hit forced Pittman to leave the game with a concussion. Kazee, as previously reported, appealed his suspension but to no avail. "I want to bring light to the situation of defensive players who are in a position feeling like they have to make plays to keep their job, but also not having any intent to injure," Ron Butler said. "This is the most I've dealt with fines since I've been an agent. I understand they're trying to clean up the game, but at this point it's a bit extreme. As for the notion of Kazee receiving a harsher punishment for being a 'repeat violator' you have to remember most of his fines that were assessed this season got rescinded after appeal. So we have to be careful about that classification and narrative." The 30-year-old is in his seventh NFL season and second with the Steelers in 2023. Kazee was a fifth-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in the 2017 NFL Draft. His two interceptions this season are tied with cornerback Levi Wallace for the Pittsburgh team lead. Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) is already ruled out for Week 16 against the Bengals while safety Trenton Thompson is questionable with a stinger. The team may need cornerback Patrick Peterson to rotate in at safety this week.

WEEK 5 - GIANTS @ COWBOYS

It was a longshot that the Giants had a chance to beat the Cowboys on the road, but give credit to the Giants for fighting to the very end. And speaking of fighting ... Giants rookie WR Kadarius Toney took exception to a questionable late hit by Cowboys S Damontae Kazee. Toney punched Kazee in the helmet and was immediately ejected from the game. Perhaps the best highlight of the game.
