"NFL Upholds Suspension for Steelers Safety Damontae Kazee, Potential Playoff Return"

The NFL has upheld the regular-season suspension of Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee after his appeal was heard by officer James Thrash. Kazee was suspended for three games without pay for a hit on Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. that resulted in a concussion. Kazee had previously been fined five times this season for unnecessary roughness, and his status as a repeat offender influenced the decision. If the Steelers make the playoffs, Kazee will be eligible to rejoin the active roster.
