Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier got a standing ovation from the PPG Paints Arena crowd Tuesday night as he took in the Penguins' game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Shazier, who has been rehabbing from spinal stabilization surgery, acknowledged the fans with a wave and a big smile, then was helped to his feet by fiancee Michelle Rodriguez and another person, before raising his fist in the air and then putting his hand over his heart.
Shazier on Monday confirmed a report that he has movement in his legs and is working on walking with support from a walker or other people.
