I don't think Reiner broke his back with that tackle. Marco probably didn't stand up because of shock of the stiuation, his comrades that he spent years training with them end up the reason of his death? And it was probably even more of shock to him when he found out that Annie was also affiliated with them after he asked her for help. Hence why he amidst his shock had a flashback of when Annie asked Reiner (the 2nd time Colossal titan broke the wall battle) "Now what do we do?" and Reiner replied "Not yet. We wait until they gather." Marco realized what they meant in his last moments of life, which was Reiner transforming and destryoing Wall Rose's inner gate just like when he smashed Wall Maria's inner gate 5 years prior.
