The NFL announced Monday that Steelers safety Damontae Kazee will be suspended for the rest of the season for his illegal hit on Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. on Saturday.
In the second quarter of the matchup, Pittman dove for a deep ball and was completely defenseless when Kazee threw his shoulder into the wideout’s head. It was a scary scene afterward, but Pittman was able to walk off field before getting ruled out of the game due to a concussion. Kazee was disqualified for the hit, and it wasn’t his first such ejection. He’s been fined five times this season for unnecessary roughness.
