Ryan Shazier Visits Steelers Practice

I want to thank the Lord for the first downs that he has been allowing me to achieve. The touchdown is going to come in his timing, but today was a first down. I was finally able to make it to practice with my teammates. It’s great to be back for practices and meetings. Just to be able to feel a part of it means the world. So I’m working harder than I ever have to get back. Ive been making strides over the past month and continue to make progress. Taking it day-by-day, but I’m far from done. The Lord has not finished his work yet. I want to say thank you to the fans and Steelers Nation for the prayers. If it wasn’t for my family, friends and your prayers I wouldn’t be were I am now. They have lifted me and my family through this journey and I ask for you to continue praying for me, as I continue to work daily on improving my health. #Shalieve#Steelers#prayfor50

The Pittsburgh Steelers got a visit from their spiritual talisman, injured middle linebacker Ryan Shazier, on Wednseday.

"I was finally able to make it to practice with my teammates," Shazier posted on Instagram.

"It’s great to be back for practices and meetings. Just to be able to feel a part of it means the world. So I’m working harder than I ever have to get back."

Greg Bishop of Sports Illustrated reported Tuesday that the Steelers are playing for their sidelined teammate.

The Steelers host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in the NFL Divisional Playoffs.
