While Pittsburgh Steelers fans are greatly anticipating the return of outside linebacker T.J. Watt, he is not the only defender who is slated to make his return from the Reserve/Injured List in the very near term.
Veteran safety Damontae Kazee was placed on IR at the start of the regular season after suffering an injury late in the preseason. He has missed the first eight games, but should be ready to suit up and contribute the next time they take the field; he has already been practicing for a couple weeks.
Said defensive backs coach Grady Brown about their deploying a package for him similar to what they were working on during training camp, “It’s not out of the window”, via the team’s website.
