Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier will officially miss the 2019 season after being placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform List on Monday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The team will still pay him close to $500,000 as he recovers from his spinal cord injury originally suffered in 2017.
Pittsburgh tolled his contract for the 2019 season despite knowing he wouldn't play, allowing him to receive medical insurance through the league and accrue seasons toward his pension.
