Tweet by tweet, Eric LeGrand is making progress in his recovery from a fractured vertebrae suffered while making a tackle against Army on Oct. 16.

On Wednesday, the Rutgers player posted two photos of himself on Twitter standing in physical therapy with the assistance of a machine.

“Standing tall, we can't fall. Standing upright again,” LeGrand wrote on the post.

LeGrand has used the social network as a way to update his thousands of followers on his progress.
