It didn’t look good. Good luck Shazier. I’m hoping for the best.

It was just a freak play. Shame this happened. Hope he's ok. Burfict ended up being carted off as well. Nasty game tonight.

Steelers-Bengals is just an ugly rivalry. It’s like they’re legit trying to kill each other out there. Not even Ravens-Steelers games are like this.

 

[Broseph]

reports from the hospital appear to be positive, thank goodness, this is a violent, brutal game .

 

[TRW]

It sure looked very bad. Hope the kid makes a full recovery.

The #Steelers sent a private plane to pick up Ryan Shazier's parents and bring them to Cincinnati. #FootballIsFamily

#Steelers LB Ryan Shazier has shown promising signs this morning. I’m told he has some movement in his lower extremities after last night’s back injury, but the next 24-48 hours are key for increased improvement.

All due respect to the severity of this injury and the brutality of the game, but shouldn't this title be changed to something less extreme? I turned off the game and my TV last night and read this thinking either Shazier was dead, or we'd suffered another mass shooting.

Watching replays, it appears the hit was instigated by Shazier, and actually didn't seem that ferocious.

I do hope he is well and recovers completely.

Coach Mike Tomlin offers no update on Ryan Shazier, but says the Steelers linebacker is receiving 'expert care.'

He lowered his head and nailed the guy. Bad tackling technique doesn't negate the severity of the situation though.

It's hard to tell the degree of impact watching on TV.

Got it.

Someone on the radio today was saying it was a back contusion. Sounded like he may have had it before.

that doesn't sound good

If they're wiling to move him his spinal cord is damaged and they know the movement won't cause any more damage.

My guess is he will be in a wheelchair for the remainder of his life.

Shazier has a history of dropping his head when tackling. Having watched enough of his plays I was surprised he wasn't injured earlier in his career. He liked to use the crown of his helmet.

He had to be warned 100 times by coaches after watching tape that if he keeps it up he's gonna get paralyzed...I think it's one of those things he just did and he wasn't going to change cause he never got hurt before...so he wasn't going to listen.

I read some articles saying it is a spinal cord contusion....similar to the injury Tommy Maddox had some years back...and if that is the case he should make a full recovery...

.
side note.... they could also be allowing him to be moved because his spinal cord is in no danger....right?

If this really isnt his first, but the most severe, he really needs to evaluate his playing future.

He is going to be transferred to a Pittsburgh hospital in the next 24-48 hours. According to NFL Live.

His window for any and all nerve regeneration ends in about 5 hours from now. Hopefully they've done a miracle with him.

It's not that I don't understand the English (you should capitalize that) language, it's that your diction was extreme. He didn't die and doesn't even need surgery, although his career may be in jeopardy. That's an "accident," or an "injury," or "brutality," at least until it's affecting someone in a catastrophic way.
