This allows Shazier to be paid a salary commensurate with his years in the NFL, earn another season toward his NFL players' pension, and keep the medical insurance he had as a player.
Ryan Shazier’s contract will be tolled into the 2019 NFL season.
He will remain on the team’s roster this year and eventually will be placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform List.

This should end the 'controversy' over the ending of the #Steelers win over the Ravens, but I have a feeling it won't.
Regarding the end of #PITvsBAL, Minkah Fitzpatrick is making a play on the ball so the contact to the receiver is not a foul. Any incidental contact by an opponent’s hands, arms, or body when both players are competing for the ball isn't a penalty.
