Several players from around the NFL sent prayers and well wishes to Ryan Shazier after he appeared to suffer a back injury during Monday night’s game between the Steelers and Bengals.
During the first quarter, Shazier went in head-first to make a tackle and fell to the ground, immediately grabbing his back. He then rolled over on his back and remained that way until medical personnel arrived. Below is video of the play.
Oh man, Just watched Ryan Shazier of the Steelers go in for a tackle and it looks bad. Not moving his legs.
Join me in sending prayers up for Ryan and his family tonight. This looks bad.
