The Pittsburgh Steelers were forced to start seven different safeties in the 2023 season. Most of the attrition was due to injury, but one was because of Damontae Kazee’s suspension following his hit on Michael Pittman Jr. that resulted in an ejection from the Steelers-Colts game.
Pittman has already stated a few times that he doesn’t think the hit was intentional. He had to dive forward for the catch, and Kazee was just trying to make the tackle. It was a scary scene, resulting in a concussion to Pittman, and Kazee was subsequently suspended for the final three games of the regular season.
