There was a near brawl at the end of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 10. It was ignited when Packers offensive lineman Zach Tom took a cheap shot at Steelers safety Damontae Kazee out of bounds.
The hit did more than almost cause a brawl and even stir up Steelers kicker Chris Boswell. When Tom hit Kazee, he slung him into Pittsburgh special teams coordinator Danny Smith, causing him to suffer a torn rotator cuff.

Smith talked about the injury at the practice facility on Thursday. In his typical old codger persona, he played down tearing his rotator cuff in three places as he compared it to some of the other big hits he’s taken over the years.
