Less than a year after he suffered a major spinal cord injury on the field, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier back in the huddle with his teammates getting hyped up for the game.

Before Pittsburgh kicked off its first preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the 25-year-old linebacker was alongside his teammates to pump them up before the game.

It’s incredible to already see Shazier able to move around and get hyped up with his teammates.

A moment to kick off the season that was already motivating for Pittsburgh’s defense, became even more meaningful and emotional with Shazier by their side.
