Ryan Shazier marked two years since the injury that changed his life Wednesday.
The Steelers linebacker posted a video to Instagram showing images from the Dec. 4, 2017, game at Cincinnati in which he was temporarily paralyzed while making a hit, followed by moments — both public and private — that have marked his inspirational recovery since.

“Today has truly been a blessing,” he wrote in the caption. “It’s been two years since I was injured. As the night comes to an end, I’m reflecting on how truly bittersweet this moment is because of how far I’ve come. I want to thank everyone who has been lifting me up and keeping me in their prayers. One thing I will promise you- I’m not going to stop. So keep Shalieving!!! God has a plan.”
Shazier re-signed with the Steelers this past offseason, though there is no indication of when or if he will return to the football field.
