Injured linebacker Ryan Shazier cheers on Steelers at Heinz Field

Ryan Shazier is out of the hospital, at least temporarily.

The injured Steelers linebacker was in a suite at Heinz Field on Sunday afternoon watching his teammates take on the Patriots.

The team showed him on the Jumbotron, eliciting a roar from the crowd.

Shazier has been ruled out for the season after he injured his spine making a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 4.

Sunday marks his first public appearance outside the hospital since his injury, which required spinal stabilization surgery.
