Steelers' Ryan Shazier: Full participant in practice Thursday
Shazier (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday.
Analysis:
Shazier has missed the past three games due to a knee issue but it now appears as if he could potentially take the field this week against the Patriots. Look for more information to be released closer to game time. If the linebacker plays in a more limited role, look for Tyler Matakevich and Vince Williams to receive some extra reps.
