“Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett remained paralyzed from the neck down Monday and still risks death unless his status improves over the next several days. He was in a heavily sedated state after four hours of emergency surgery to stabilize fractured bones in his spine and damage to his spinal chord.
Doctors outlined a bleak future for Everett, but his prognosis wasn't exactly clear and will largely depend on how well he recovers. Doctors said chances are slim that Everett, who was injured in the Bills' season-opening loss Sunday to the Denver Broncos, will ever walk again.”
He is on a ventilator and remains in critical condition. "This young man suffered a potentially lethal and grave injury," said Dr. Andrew Cappucino, a spinal specialist who helped perform the surgery. "We are still greatly concerned."

So young...it's a shame. It was a good tackle too...just unlucky. His doctor says the chances of a full recovery are dismal...probably never walk again if he survives the next week. My prayers go with him and his family.

A miracle may have happened:

"Kevin Everett might walk again after all.

The doctor who performed the spinal surgery on Everett told Buffalo TV station WIVB on Tuesday that Everett has voluntary movement of his arms and legs and as a result he is optimistic that Everett will walk again.

Dr. Andrew Cappuccino told WIVB that Everett's sedation levels were lowered on Tuesday, allowing him to respond to verbal commands. WIVB also reported that Everett's latest MRI shows only a small amount of swelling on his spinal cord."

He received body cooling treatment almost immediately after the injury (maybe the fastest ever) and may be the reason Kevin may walk again.
