Pittsburgh Steelers to honor LB Kevin Greene in Week 4

The Pittsburgh Steelers will honor former linebacker and 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Kevin Greene with a special ring ceremony in Week 4.

The Steelers announced Wednesday that the honor will take place during the team's "Sunday Night Football" game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 2.

Greene played in 228 games over 15 seasons for the Los Angeles Rams (1985-92), the Pittsburgh Steelers (1993-95), the Carolina Panthers (1996, 1998-99) and the San Francisco 49ers (1997). He was a three-time first-team All-Pro (1989, 1994 and 1996) and a five-time Pro Bowler (1989, 1994-96 and 1998).

Greene ranks third all-time in NFL history with 160 sacks. He recorded double-digit sacks in a single season 10 times, and he led the NFL in sacks twice (1994 and 1996). He was named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1990s.

As a member of the Steelers, Greene recorded 35.5 sacks in three seasons -- the second-most sacks in any three-year span in team history.

Greene will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2016.
