Activated to 53-man roster The Steelers restored Kazee (arm) to the active roster Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Impact Kazee is set to play for the first time this season heading into Sunday's game against the Saints. The 29-year-old fractured his forearm during the preseason and opened the 2022 campaign on injured reserve. Kazee recorded 52 tackles, four passes defended, two interceptions and two forced fumbles over 17 regular-season games with Dallas last year, so he could play a prominent reserve role behind starting safeties Terrell Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick for the final nine weeks of the season.

Impact Kazee said he broke his forearm during the preseason and had nine screws and a plate put in to repair it, but it now appears he could return to play his first snaps of the regular season Sunday.

Returns to practice Thursday Kazee (arm) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Kazee underwent surgery on his left arm after sustaining an injury during Pittsburgh's preseason finale, and he was expected to sit out until at least Week 6 while recovering on IR. Now, the veteran safety will have a 21-day window to practice and be activated to the Steelers' 53-man roster, or else he'll revert to season-ending IR. Kazee tallied 52 tackles, four passes defended, two interceptions and a pair of forced fumbles over 17 contests with Dallas last year, and he could play a prominent defensive role for the Steelers when healthy.

Suspension lifted Kazee (arm) finished serving a three-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on substance abuse Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Kazee served all three games of his suspension while on the Steelers' injured reserve with a wrist injury suffered in late August, which was expected to keep him sidelined until at least Week 6. The 29-year-old safety recorded 52 tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions while playing 850 defensive snaps over 17 games with Dallas last season. With starting strong safety Terrell Edmunds still in concussion protocol after sitting out Week 5, Kazee could quickly step into a prominent role in the Steelers' secondary when healthy again.

Suspended three games Kazee has been suspended three games for violating the NFL's policy on substance abuse, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per the report, Kazee, who had been on IR with a wrist injury that he sustained in the Steelers' final preseason game, will be able to serve his suspension while on IR. In any case, the earliest the safety can return to action is in Week 6, though once his suspension is complete, it remains to be seen if he'll be healthy enough to come off IR at that juncture.
