SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • NFL.COM
Active in Week 2 Kazee (thigh) is active for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Chargers, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact The offseason acquisition was limited both Thursday and Friday, but he ultimately won't be an addition to the Cowboys' list of absent defensive starters for Sunday's interconference tilt. Kazee figures to have a busy afternoon trying to contain a potent Chargers passing game, particularly with fellow safety Donovan Wilson (groin) one of the aforementioned players that will be out of action.

Questionable for Week 2 The Cowboys listed Kazee (thigh) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Kazee was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday and will likely be a game-time decision Sunday. The 28-year-old safety played 52 defensive snaps and registered two tackles in the season opener.

Activated from COVID-19 list Kazee (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Kazee was one of several Cowboys who tested positive for COVID-19 last week, but he'll rejoin the team after missing just over a week. The safety will have a week to prepare for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Buccaneers and will likely be able to handle a full workload following his absence.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Kazee was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact The Cowboys have been dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak recently, and Kazee will be away from the team due to the league's health and safety protocols. Both Kazee and Malik Hooker are now on the COVID-19 list, and it's not yet clear whether they'll be ready to return by Week 1. If the two safeties are unable to play to begin the regular season, Darian Thompson and Tyler Coyle are candidates to see increased playing time.

Reunites with Quinn in Dallas Kazee (Achilles) has signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Kazee played under Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn when Quinn was the head coach in Atlanta, so perhaps that familiarity attracted the safety to Dallas. He tore his Achilles after four games last season but is expected to be fully healthy for training camp with his new team.
