Duke Johnson pays tribute to Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier after touchdown: Browns quick hits

BEREA, Ohio -- After his touchdown catch on Sunday, Browns running back Duke Johnson dropped to his knees in prayer, stood up and held up a 5-0 with his hands.

It was a tribute to Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier, who wears No. 50 and underwent spinal stabilization surgery last week after he was injured during Pittsburgh's Dec. 4 win over Cincinnati.

The Steelers officially placed Shazier on injured reserve on Tuesday and he remains hospitalized.

"Just to see it happen to someone, it's just eye-opening for not only myself but a lot of players that play this game," Johnson said on Wednesday.
