The Pittsburgh Steelers placed linebacker Ryan Shazier on the reserve/physically unable to perform list and confirmed he won't play football in 2018.

The move was expected, but allows the Steelers to add another player to their 90-man offseason roster.

Shazier appeared at the 2018 NFL Draft last week, where he walked out to the podium and announced the Steelers' first-round selection.

He required spinal stabilization surgery Dec. 6 after an attempted tackle went wrong during a game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
