Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier has regained feeling in his legs, according to a report by WPXI-Pittsburgh. Shazier's father, Vernon, declined specifics on his son's current condition but did recall the moments after he suffered the spinal injury during a Dec. 4 Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. "He said, 'Daddy, pray for me. I can't feel my legs,'" an emotional Vernon Shazier said in an on-camera interview with WPXI, recounting his son's call from the hospital.

Vernon Shazier said he won't offer specifics on Ryan's condition "until (he's) ready to share where he's at" but did note that his son is "making progress daily. He's a long way from where he was on that Monday night when he was laying on the field," Vernon Shazier said.

Vernon Shazier, a pastor who recently began giving sermons again, recalled wanting to switch positions with his son when he first saw the injury. Now, he envisions Ryan one day playing football again. "I Shalieve," he said.
