When Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier went down with what is turning out to be a horrific injury, it literally brought his teammates to tears. Now, however, from a position of not being to help his friends, the linebacker has a message for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

What's that message? To put it on the Baltimore Ravens.

According to Ben Roethlisberger, in a conversation with Ryan Shazier, the linebacker told him just that.

“Of course, because it is a brother, a teammate, never like to see injuries happen in football,” Roethlisberger said, via ESPN. “Regardless of whether it is a sprained ankle or like something that happened with Ryan, it's a scary, scary incident, and we just continue to pray for him and his family. We send our thoughts and prayers to his family. But we have a game to prepare for, and we know that is what Ryan wants. Talking to Ryan, that is what he wants. So we are going to go out and prepare for the Ravens like Ryan would want us to do.”

Obviously, everyone is rooting for Shazier to make a full recovery. According to Steelers colleague Arthur Moats, he sees a silver lining in this otherwise gloomy cloud.

“When you see a guy go down like that, it kind of puts it in perspective like, ‘Oh, yeah, this is real life,'” Moats said. “Guys are really getting hurt like that [on the field]. It is a real-life aspect to football that a lot of people get numb to because of the injuries you see so often.”
