Steelers LB Ryan Shazier officially retires from the NFL. Shazier, 28, has been on the Reserve/Retired List since suffering a severe spinal cord injury on Dec. 4, 2017, in a game against the Bengals. After undergoing surgery, he was able to eventually walk again but still suffers from the debilitating effects of his injury.
Shazier goes on to say in his announcement today
"The way I look at it, God put us all here for a purpose. For 20 years he let me play football, and now it’s time for me to do what he wants me to do. I am going to step away from the game for a while and see what else life has to offer. I know football always will be here for me if I need it, but right now I am excited to explore some new challenges and different paths."
