dmarc117 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-b...p&type=lgns Kevin Everett is walking on his own at a Houston rehab center, the latest significant progress by the Buffalo Bills tight end in his remarkable recovery from a serious spinal cord injury. "He doesn't have a full natural stride but, yeah, he's walking," a person close to the family told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of Everett's status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Bills punter Brian Moorman learned after practice that Everett was walking. "Any time we hear about something along those lines, it gives you chills," he said. "We're always thinking about him, and we're thrilled any time we hear about any progress. ... It's obviously a good sign. We hope to see him personally sometime soon." Everett hasn't spoken publicly except through news releases and in a videotaped statement that was broadcast before Buffalo's home game against New England on Nov. 18. "How are you doing Buffalo? This is Kevin Everett," Everett said, during the brief message that was shown on TV and the Ralph Wilson Stadium video scoreboard. "I just want to say, `Come on, let's beat the Patriots."'

myhousekey Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3162433 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett, who sustained a serious spinal cord injury earlier this season, is planning on attending the team's home finale Sunday, according to a published report. Weather could be a factor in Everett's attendance, a source close to the Bills told The Buffalo News. Significant snowfall is not expected for Sunday's game but there is a chance for precipitation. Bills players sounded overjoyed at the prospect of seeing their teammate who was initially paralyzed from the neck down while attempting to tackle Domenik Hixon during a kickoff return in the Bills' season opener against the Denver Broncos on Sept. 9. Hopefully this inspires the team and they can take down the Giants this weekend. Edited December 20, 2007 by myhousekey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fballfreak Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 This is awesome news for this Christmas season. I'm sure his family and team mates are exstatic about this news. And I did pick Buffalo on my shop pool this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
