Steelers injury report: Damontae Kazee returns to full practice, Markus Golden remains limited
Minkah Fitzpatrick, Damontae Kazee, Markus Golden and Darnell Washington returned to Pittsburgh Steelers practice Thursday after missing the previous day’s session, but Gunner Olszewski and Larry Ogunjobi remained absent from drills.
Safety Fitzpatrick (chest), outside linebacker Golden (knee) and tight end Washington (knee) each were listed on Thursday’s practice report as limited participants. Kazee, though, practiced fully three days after suffering an apparently minor calf injury during Monday night’s home win against the Cleveland Browns.
Kazee and Fitzpatrick are the Steelers’ starting safeties.
Receiver Olszewski remains in NFL concussion protocol. Ogunjobi has commonly throughout his two-year tenure with the Steelers has missed practices, continually listed on the practice report because of a foot injury.
Two veterans who sat out Wednesday for non-injury reasons — cornerback Patrick Peterson and guard Isaac Seumalo — returned to work Thursday.
The Steelers will practice one final time Friday in advance of their scheduled game at the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday night.
