7 years agoPittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier (spine) was released from The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Thursday after having spinal-stabilization surgery in December. He'll continue with outpatient work, and he posted a picture on Instagram showing him standing with a brace on one leg. Shazier suffered a potentially career-threatening spinal injury against the Bengals in December, and it's still unknown if he'll return to football in 2018, but it's a great sign he's out of the hospital. One thing is crystal clear: Pittsburgh's defense is in much better shape when Shazier is on the field.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
