Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier has yet to recover enough to return to the gridiron, but he was able to dance at his wedding Friday night, according to video that was spreading virally on social media.
About a year and a half ago, Ryan Shazier was told he had a 20% chance of ever walking again. This was him today at his wedding.. Anything is possible! ????

Shazier continues his recovery from a spinal injury suffered during a December 2017 game in Cincinnati and he remains on the team’s reserve/physically unable to perform list.
Shazier wed Michelle Rodriguez in Pittsburgh and the reception was at The Pennsylvanian, Downtown, according to a post on the Steelers blog at SBnation.com.
Actor Joe Manganiello, a Pittsburgh native, was among the guests who made posts on social media.
