Ryan Shazier wanting to play football again is a good thing

Since his horrific spinal injury suffered in a Monday night game against the Bengals last December 4, the constant refrain from just about everyone wishing Steelers inside linebacker Ryan Shazier well has been something along the lines of, "Just walk again, bro."

But Shazier, confined until recently to a wheelchair, has a different wish, and that's, "I've gotta get back, bro."

That is precisely what Shazier told teammate Roosevelt Nix, when he addressed his current health status and football aspirations while appearing on the Pro Bowl fullback's podcast which aired Tuesday.
