Shazier suffered the injury on Monday night when he made a hard tackle with his helmet down. He remained down on the field for several minutes before getting stretched off and taken to the hospital, where he remained for a couple nights. After eventually returning to Pittsburgh on Wednesday, he underwent spinal stabilization surgery that night.
The Steelers will miss Shazier against the Ravens, but at this point, football isn't what matters. Hopefully, he can recover fully so that the injury doesn't impact his day-to-day life moving forward.
