Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier, who was hospitalized after suffering a scary injury earlier this month during a game, was placed on injured reserve, effectively ending his season.

NBC reported Thursday, Dec. 14, that he’s now starting his physical rehabilitation. It comes after he had spinal stabilization surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center about one week ago.
