Ryan Shazier begins walking again

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting Pittsburgh Steelers LB Ryan Shazier (spine) has resumed walking. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

Per Schefter, Shazier was released from UPMC Rehabilitation Institute on Thursday after regaining the movement in his legs that he lost due to a severe spinal injury suffered in Week 13 against the Bengals and is "engaging in a regular walking routine." However, despite the uplifting news, Schefter is suggesting that the next 3-to-6 months are vital in his recovery and "will provide a significant idea how much more function Shazier can regain." At this point, its a miracle Shazier is walking again, but for his playing future, that remains an uncertainty.
