Just saw this come across my sports feed. I'd be surprised Ryan plays football again despite the upbeat report from his father. Hopefully he regains full control of his body and can live a normal life.
Good to hear.

Steelers ILB Ryan Shazier (back surgery) is beginning to regain feeling in his legs.
"He’s making progress daily," Shazier's father said in a radio interview. "He’s a long ways from where he was Monday night when he was laying on the field." It's the first update we've heard on Shazier in multiple weeks. It's excellent, if preliminary, news. There's still a long way to go for the 2014 first-rounder. Shazier's football future remains entirely up in the air.
Great news.

Great news.
I'm telling you, he's going to lead his team out of the tunnel. In the Divisional playoff game. (maybe it's wishful thinking) but I really think it's going to happen.
I agree. His dad believes he will play. I hope so but more concerned that he is alright.

Ryan Shazier’s Father Says He Has Feeling In Legs, Believes His Son Will Play Again
Details on Ryan Shazier’s condition have been understandably sparse since his spine injury suffered exactly one month ago today. For the first time since the injury that Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, Shazier’s father, Vernon, sat down with WPXI’s Lisa Sylvester to talk about his son.
Mr. Shazier said Ryan called him minutes after arriving at the hospital with news no parent wants to hear.
“I can’t feel my legs,”
Shazier stayed at a Cincinnati hospital for several days before being transported to Pittsburgh. He wound up needing spine stabilization surgery and has been physically rehabbing ever since. He’s been well enough to make two appearances at Heinz Field, the crowd roaring each time he was shown on the Jumbotron, Terrible Towel in hand.
Though Mr. Shazier did not want to go into many details about his son’s condition, saying “we agreed to keep his progress private until he’s ready to share where he’s at,” he offered a couple of hopeful pieces of information about his condition.
He confirmed Shazier now has feelings in his legs.
“He’s making progress daily. He is a long ways from where he was.” Mr. Shazier said, adding “he’s much better.”
Talk about playing football may be a long ways away, the focus instead on getting Shazier healthy and fully recovered for a normal life. But Mr. Shazier was optimistic about his son being able to suit up for the Pittsburgh Steelers again,
“Yes,” he responded when asked if he thought Shazier would play football again. “I Shalieve, I Shalieve,” invoking the popular hashtag used to support his son.

"He said, 'Daddy, pray for me. I can't feel my legs,' " an emotional Vernon Shazier said in an on-camera interview with WPXI, recounting his son's call from the hospital.

highly doubtful. The team is focused on a football game and Shazier is focused on getting his health back. He will be in a luxury box in a private space.
