Kyle Dugger
S - Pittsburgh Steelers - OUT
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
Kyle Dugger has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Dugger was unable to practice on Thursday and Friday to end the week. It is a big blow to the Steelers secondary heading into Sunday's game against Baltimore for first place in the AFC North.
The Steelers acquired S Kyle Dugger and a 2026 seventh-round pick from the Patriots in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick.
Fantasy Impact
Dugger is one of two defensive players traded by New England on Tuesday. He started just four games for the Patriots this season. He lands in Pittsburgh with DeShon Elliott placed on IR.
Kyle Dugger is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
Dugger was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant. He'll need to be monitored closer to kickoff.
The Patriots have reportedly put S Kyle Dugger on the trade block.
Fantasy Impact
Dugger was demoted to the second-team earlier in August, and it appears the Patriots new coaching staff are looking to move on as a whole. He should draw some interest.
New England Patriots defensive back Kyle Dugger has been running with the second-team defense, potentially in favor of Jaylinn Hawkins.
Fantasy Impact
Dugger signed a four-year, $58 million deal not too long ago, and this demotion could be a sign that a trade or cut could be in line, says Kevin Patra of NFL.com. Mike Vrabel has emphasized that everyone will earn their spot as a starter, and that includes the former second-rounder. "A lot of this is that guys have earned the right to take a look with that first unit and, again, there will be different lineups and different things. Just focus on the reps that you get right now."
