Great sign for Ryan Shazier -- a little over a month after he suffered a serious spine injury, the Steelers star was finally able to attend team practice Wednesday ... and says he's pushing HARD to make a full recovery.
Shazier, who's still in a wheelchair, but has reportedly regained some feeling in his legs, shared a photo of himself at practice along with an inspirational update.
"It’s great to be back for practices and meetings. Just to be able to feel a part of it means the world. So I’m working harder than I ever have to get back," he wrote.
"I’ve been making strides over the past month and continue to make progress. Taking it day-by-day, but I’m far from done."
FYI, the Steelers meet the Jags in the playoffs on Sunday -- and you can bet Ryan's teammates are gonna be playing for him.
