Ryan Shazier posted video of himself lifting weights.

One year after the on-field collision that left him with a life-changing spinal injury, Ryan Shazier was back in the weight room.

The Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker posted a video on his Instagram page showing doing deadlifts with a trainer.

Shazier has been regularly visible this season, notably during pregame warmups pumping up the Steelers defense.

It was a year ago Dec. 4 that Shazier was injured during a “Monday Night Football” game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.

Shazier left the game on a stretcher and required a stabilization surgery two days later. During the course of his recovery, he has posted photos of himself standing with teammates. He also has been shown on the scoreboard at PPG Paints Arena standing up from his seat and walked unassisted onto the field at Paul Brown Stadium earlier season.

“To be around him every day, to witness it, is a special thing,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said this week. “He’s a special guy. He inspires us.”

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
