Steelers linebacker suffers major back injury

Ryan Shazier's injury came in the first quarter of his team's 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals during a "Monday Night Football" game.

Shazier was one of my favorite players but it was a matter of time before he suffered a serious injury. He has always tackled head down at full speed.

I'm a new fan so I remember seeing shazier being in like year 2 in madden 16 and then he wasn't on the steelers when I got into nfl and I was like wait did he retire at like age 28. But i found this

[@yohanathandowns9057]

DPT here. When an injury occurs to the spinal cord the entire function of the spinal cord shuts down below the injury in what is known as "spinal shock". Much like a concussion, It takes about a week for the system to reboot before the severity of the injury is known (other than a CT/MRI showing a severed spine). Another 6-12 months is needed before the patient regains his max potential (meaning what ever he/she has left). The fact that he already has movement below the site of injury is a good sign. I work with SCI patients, most go on and live independent and fulfilling lives especially when the injury is located below C7 level.

[@martyshwaartz971]

IMO, football is a dangerous game, we know that. Even if you don't get that one, unlikely career ending injury, your still dealing with symptoms from all the hits to the head for life. THAT BEING SAID, all the evidence is out in the open, anyone that plays football accepts those risks, so this shouldn't turn into some boycott football bullshit. Hell, I'm Canadian, hockey is no different really, but those players accept the risk of head injuries. There are more important things to get upset over than if football is safe.

[@godsplan2359]

LM Djnchen you're stupid too. The nfl used to be WAY more hard core than it is now. With all the rules and penalties making the game safe, it's nearly unwatchable. When they created the horse collar rule, Lawrence taylor said, "how the hell are you supposed to make a tackle?" You can't be much over 15 to think that way. Look up some videos of football in the 60s - the 80s. Those guys were gladiators. It's nearly tag football these days. Players go for the penalty instead of the yards. Every big hit you see has a flag. The kick offs suck. 'Defenseless receivers.' It's all crap.

I like what the college game is doing: reviewing the play if "targeting" is called, and if confirmed, the player is ejected from the game. THEN, the league should suspend players for TWO additional games, even if the team is in/near-to-making the playoffs. C'mon NFL, get it together.

[@smohs]

Theres nothing clean about the crown of the helmet hitting a guy in the chin. Both hits were dirty but only one of them was out of intent to break up the play. Ju Ju's hit was unnecessary in the scheme of the play and was obvious targeting just like burficts was against AB two years ago. The hit on AB in the end zone is more bang-bang football to get him to drop the ball, just like Michael said.

[@corey2232]

Maybe you haven't been around lately, but helmet to helmet contact, leading with your head and driving it into someone else, is not a "textbook block." That's a good way to get yourself & the other player injured. It's a stupid block if you want to retire without brain damage.

[@ZachFish-]

Helmet to helmet blindside on burfict and standing over him and taunting is ok? But the helmet to helmet on brown when he just caught it isn’t? 😂 Some people are just retarded

[@smohs]

Devin Kendrick theres blocking and thens there's excessive, unnecessary "blocking". What he did is not a clean block which is why he was flagged for it. There were two penalties against him on that play if you recall. One for unnecessary roughness and one for taunting.

Has nothing to do with "the liberal media." The NFL denied that the sport was this dangerous, or even semi-responsible for long-term brain injuries for decades. It's extremely detrimental to people's health, nothing wrong with reporting that. Sounds like you're the sensitive one since you want silence. These people know the risks, but in the past this wasn't true. "Football is violent. We know, it's supposed to be." And? Talking about it is bad? No. Trotting people out for our entertainment and turning a blind eye to it is bad. If it hurts your feelings to hear and see the damage it causes, maybe YOU shouldn't watch it. I enjoy the game, always have, but the narrative now is not even CLOSE to the same as it was even just a decade ago. Hell, in the late 80's early 90's there was no discussion about this stuff. Just because "this used to happen every week, every game" doesn't mean it's suddenly ok. Also, people losing complete feelings of their lower extremities didn't happen every game every week. Athletes are far larger, stronger, faster, and therefore more dangerous when they use their body as a weapon. Were there violent hits? Absolutely, but life-altering injuries were not an every game issue. Using exaggeration to glorify the "good ol' days" is ignorant.

[@brainoverbrawn3404]

Have these people ever watched football? Quit moaning like this is something unseen. Up to a few years ago, this was the norm in every game, and people cheered it on. Yes, the game has changed to improve player safety, but stop whining like people were shrieking at these hits. These are the kind of plays that actually made football popular.

This is football... industry & manufacturers often deal with injured employees (a burn in a steel mill, as an electrician, or a cook)... construction foremen, geologists & warehouse operators wear protected steel enforced footwear @ often helmets while operating complex heavy machinery... still people get injured. Someone please equate avg. & years spent on salary per individual between & the possible occurrence of an injury against adding the ability to support self & family following the injury Then figure available time off (while being paid) & possible future opportunity (analyst, announcer or any other role)
