Thoughts & Prayers for Bills' Kevin Everett

The Buffalo Bills backup tight end and special teamer Kevin Everett was critically injured during a kick return in Sunday's Broncos/Bills game when he collided helmet-to-helmet while tackling Denver's Domenik Hixon. Everett immediately fell to the ground unconscious. He was carefully loaded on a backboard and taken directly to the hospital via ambulance from the Broncos' 30 yard line. Everett suffered a severe spinal injury and underwent surgery Sunday night at a Buffalo hospital. It's too early to know Everett's exact condition or the extent of long term effects. According to Everett's agent, there has only been "sparse" movement from Everett and it is unknown if he will even be able to walk again. Everett was drafted by the Bills in the 3rd round of the 2005 draft out of Miami (FL). He is 25 years old. I will be updating this story as more information becomes available. As fans of the sport, please take a moment to include Kevin Everett and his family in your thoughts & prayers.
