Buffalo Bills TE Kevin Everett was released from Memorial Hermann/TIRR three weeks ago and is now an outpatient there. That’s good enough news on its own. What’s even better news is the fact Kevin is walking in and out of his daily rehabilitation sessions on his own.

Thinking back to where Kevin was, back in September when his life was literally in jeopardy, this just makes me incredibly happy to hear. Having covered the Bills on-location this season, I know firsthand the effect Kevin’s injury has had on this team. And the joy they feel each time they hear of another step in his improvement. I know the Buffalo fans also have a place for Kevin in their hearts. A person close to the family, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of Kevin’s status, told The Associated Press today:

“He doesn’t have a full natural stride but, yeah, he’s walking. He’s not driving or anything like that, but he is walking. He’s not running. He is walking.”

The news just keeps getting better and you just hope and pray that Kevin will be able to live a completely normal life one day in the not-too-distant future. It looks very much like that is going to happen.
