“100 percent,” Shazier said on if he would play if doctors clear him. “If I could, right now, wake up tomorrow, and they say, ‘Hey Ryan, you’re 100 percent healthy,’ I would call coach (Mike) Tomlin, ‘Hey, I know I wouldn’t be able to play against the Ravens, but, hey, let me figure out if I can work my way back to being on the team.'”
