Steelers team president Art Rooney II said Wednesday that Shazier (spine) still wants to resume his NFL playing career if he gains medical clearance, Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Shazier began jogging in December for the first time since suffering the spinal injury a year earlier in a game against the Bengals. The Steelers kept the 26-year-old under contract for 2018 despite knowing he wouldn't see the field, but he'll become a free agent when the new league year begins in March. Rooney indicated the team would like to re-sign Shazier, though how exactly they would do so remains unclear given the severity of his injury and uncertain playing future.
