Steelers' Ryan Shazier (back) discharged from hospital

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier was discharged on Thursday from the Rehabilitation Unit at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

What It Means:

Shazier announced the news on social media. A picture also surfaced of him standing beside quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, while sporting a brace on his left leg. He will continue to do outpatient therapy at UPMC, but it's another step in his recovery from back stabilization surgery in December.

In his last 3 seasons, Shazier has made at least 62 tackles from his inside linebacker spot.
