Ten weeks after sustaining a severe spinal cord injury. Buffalo Bills TE Kevin Everett was released from Houston’s Memorial Hermann/TIRR where he spent the past two months in rehab. In a statement released by the hospital, Kevin said:
“While this news is a significant milestone for me, I still have a long journey to full recovery. I was fortunate to meet many extraordinary people at Memorial Hermann/TIRR, many who have suffered the same or similar injury as myself, many of whom I now consider friends. Their courage and determination inspired me to fight every day for recovery of my ability to walk.”
In a surprise to everyone in the press box (and the entire stadium, too, I’m sure) at last night’s Bills / Patriots game, an inspirational 25-second message from Kevin appeared on the Ralph Wilson Stadium video scoreboard. You could have heard a pin drop. It was amazing that over 70,000 frenzied fans could be that quiet. It’s such great news to hear that Kevin is well on the road to recovery.
