Ryan Shazier did not move his legs after being injured while making a tackle.
Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier was taken off the field on a stretcher after being injured while making a tackle.
Shazier’s teammates were visibly shaken, many of them with tears in their eyes, as Shazier did not appear to move his legs after the hit.
Shazier was injured while trying to make a tackle on Bengals receiver Josh Malone. He immediately grabbed his lower back and rolled over.
The team announced that Shazier is being evaluated for a back injury at a hospital and will not return to the game, though “there will be no further updates at this time.” He was taken away in an ambulance and “kept pointing to his waist,” NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala reported. He was taken to University of Cincinnati Trauma Center, a Level I trauma center.
“I was 10 feet away and immediately you could see that he could not move the lower half of his body,” Steve Young said on ESPN’s halftime show.
The injury elicited an outpouring of support for Shazier from players around the league.
Shazier, a 2014 first-round pick out of Ohio State, has started all 12 games for the Steelers this season.
