Ryan Shazier has regained feeling in his legs, the linebacker's father told WPXI-Pittsburgh.

Vernon Shazier didn't offer specifics on his son's condition, but did recall the moments after he suffered the spinal injury during a Dec. 4 Monday Night Football game.

"He said, 'Daddy, pray for me. I can't feel my legs,'" the elder Shazier said.

Shazier underwent spinal stabilization surgery Dec. 7 at a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center hospital, where he's also undergoing rehabilitation.
