Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier said Wednesday he still hopes to play in the NFL again after suffering a serious spine injury last season that required spinal stabilization surgery.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network provided comments from Shazier, who's already been ruled out for the 2018 season.
"My dream is to come back and play football again," he said. "I have that in the back of my mind every day I go to rehab. I'm trying to stay positive every day. … They feel like I'm doing a lot better than expected.
