PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Former Steeler Ryan Switzer has given another update about his son's condition, and it is fortunately better than the last few.

Christian Switzer is "stable and not actively bleeding," according to a tweet from Saturday afternoon.

Christian is stable and not actively bleeding, so we're able to do these tests out patient until they find the issue. Surgery could be as early as Wednesday if they can confirm what they see on the scan Monday is what they're looking for.
