Shazier

The brace he's wearing indicates he doesn't have much peripheral motor control.

Just incredible that an incredible athlete like Shazier can end up in this situation from 1 play. You just never know...

True. A shit load of heathy non-athletes end up that way and worse from '1 play' too. We just don't see the instant replay on most of 'em.

No you weren't. I called you out.

You ran away because your out of line.

Ok, Carnac...you caught me. I really do think there is one poster on this site that isn't very bright.

And as Packer fans, we're also conditioned to think that the Packers will never even sniff around Sam Shields once he's announced he wants to try to come back.

Why would they even consider bringing Shields back after his history of concussions? No reason to take the risk.

Great to see he's able to stand. He is really fortunate he will probably be fully functional in his older age. Shame about his career, but those are the risks these guys take.

Ryan Shazier confirmed Michele Tafoya's report that he is not walking on his own, and that walking with assistance in rehab remains a struggle

Which raises the question, who did Schefter talk to about the "regular walking regime"? Was it his own spin or from someone else? For a while it was pleasant if slightly frustrating that not much news was being shared. But now I feel like someone is trying to play this kid's situation.

[I]" ...Ryan Shazier has "regained movement in his legs and is engaging in a regular walking routine," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. ...

Shazier was discharged from UMPC on Thursday and will begin receiving outpatient therapy after undergoing spine stabilization surgery in December.

"He's making incredible progress," a source familiar with Shazier's recovery told ESPN. Schefter added that, "The next three to six months are critical in his recovery and will provide a significant idea how much more function Shazier can regain." Quote taken from LINK above.
