Kazee said he broke his forearm during the preseason and had nine screws and a plate put in to repair it, but it now appears he could return to play his first snaps of the regular season Sunday.

The twenty-nine-year-old appeared in 17 games last season with the Dallas Cowboys, recording 52 total tackles (35 solo), two forced fumbles, two interceptions and four passes defended.

Kazee will likely play a depth role behind Minkah Fitzpatrick and Terrell Edmund when he returns.
