Pittsburgh Steelers safety Domante Kazee made his regular-season debut last week against the New Orleans Saints. Kazee had a strong game but unfortunately, his big hit on Saints receiver Chris Olave early in the game drew a penalty and now according to ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler, a fine by the NFL as well. Fowler also indicated Kazee plans to appeal the fine per his agent.
Kazee finished with four tackles and a key interception in the win over the Saints. Kazee joined the Steelers as a free agent in the offseason but had missed the entire season up until last week due to a broken arm. A healthy Kazee gives the Steelers three excellent safeties for the home stretch of the season.
The NFL fined #Steelers safety Damontae Kazee for his sideline hit on #Saints receiver Chris Olave on Sunday, per source. His agent, @Agentbutler1, will appeal.
