“[University of Pittsburgh Medical Center] neurosurgeons and Pittsburgh Steelers team physicians Drs. David Okonkwo and Joseph Maroon performed spinal stabilization surgery on Ryan Shazier to address his spinal injury,” the Steelers’ statement said.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported Shazier is facing "months of recovery" before considering his NFL future. Meanwhile, Michele Steele of ESPN spoke with neurologist Dr. Anthony Alessi, who said the defender "may not play football again."
"This is a much more severe situation on our hands than we thought," Alessi said.

I haven't heard anything in regards to if he has movement in his legs, but read another article that says he may very well not play again regardless.
