Now to get him up and walking..........

 

[Drink IRON City]

The goal of playing football again is something to keep motivated by. Wheather or not he actually plays will yet to be seen. I wish him well in all respects of life, playing or not. God speed to you Ryan and soon to be able to walk.




Salute the nation

I hope he is able to play again. I also hope he chooses not to take that risk.

Life is a risk, tell you what.

Stay home stay on the sofa you might not get injured.


If he walks it is a win.

If he plays football again it is a win for him, and it is what he loves. He will know the risk. And I am sure the Dr's will verse him in what they recommend.

Even if the day does come where doctors say he is able to play, I can’t imagine him being able to go out there and play with the reckless abandon he once did having gone through what he has gone through. You never know I guess, but it’s hard for me to think that the injury wouldn’t be on his mind every time he went to make a tackle. I know it would be on mine....

Having feeling coming back in his legs is a long way from walking and running again and light years from playing football again. "May" needs to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

I’m not saying live in a bubble, but when it’s a risk you can control...take heed.

every player takes that risk when they step out on the field

 

[Coach]

I'd he happy if he can walk and play with his children again.

The pins and metal in his back, as far as I know will not come out and if gets hit wrong, he's in serious jeopardy.

Sorry guys, Shazier would be a fool to come back, and even if he tired it would take a year of rehab to approaching being in NFL shape.

I agree with you here Coach. I think it would be a foolish decision to try and come back.
I think just walking and living a normal life would be a gift from God and one to be so thankful for.

I'd be happy to see Shazier on the field, being honored at a half time, and walking. I do believe the Rooney family will take care of him, possibly offering him a job with the Steelers.

There is no way Shazier should ever play in a game ever. With a fusion in his mid back, the rest of his back is weakened vastly increasing the potential for injury above and below the fusion. Usually people who have fusions report a domino effect over the rest of their lives, requiring more and more fusions to keep moving. And they don't play football.

I would be to concerned about his health if he ever played football again.
