The Pittsburgh Steelers experienced some serious attrition at the safety position last Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts with S Minkah Fitzpatrick getting knocked out of the game with a knee injury, S Trenton Thompson missing time with a stinger, and S Damontae Kazee getting ejected for a big hit on WR Michael Pittman Jr.
Kazee has been suspended for the rest of the season by the NFL while head coach Mike Tomlin already ruled out Fitzpatrick for Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Thompson failed to practice on Tuesday with a neck injury while S Elijah Riley just had his 21-day window opened to come back from IR but has yet to be cleared to return from an ankle injury.
