Ryan Shazier has not been cleared to return to Pittsburgh.
Shazier, who suffered what his teammates described as a spinal cord concussion in the Steelers' 23-20 win over the Bengals on Monday night, will undergo additional testing at University of Cincinnati Medical Center for the next 24-48 hours until he is released from the hospital, according to a statement released by Dr. David Okonkwo, a neurosurgeon on the Steelers' medical staff, and Dr. Joseph Cheng, Chief of Neurosurgery at UC Health.
The statement was released after Mike Tomlin told reporters early Tuesday afternoon that he did not have an update on Shazier's status and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted that Shazier regained "some movement" in his lower extremities after he was hospitalized overnight.
