I thought he was going to be a great TE, I hope he still has a chance to play or at least live a normal life.

He tackled the ball-carrier on the 2nd half kickoff and when completely limp immediately after making contact. It didn't seem like there was anything odd about the tackle itself and I thought he was just knocked out at first, but apparently it's a serious spinal injury.

He went to tackle Domenik Hixon on a kickoff, lowered his head when Hix lowered his shoulder. his body went completely limp after contact and he layed on the ground with his shoulders twitching. Very scary.

When I saw that play, it was just a routine tackle on a kickoff and he just went limp. I thought he just got knocked out, but he didn't even do the thumbs up as they were taking him off.
Best wishes to him and his family.

Sad:
Cervical (neck) injuries usually result in full or partial paralysis. Depending on the exact location of the injury, one with a spinal cord injury at the cervical may retain some amount of function as detailed below, but are otherwise completely paralyzed.

It can also depend on the immediate care he was given by the medical staff. There are things that can be done to decrease the damage that is done. Prayers and best wishes.

He was finally healthy this year and looked like things were coming together for him. Now I'm just hoping that he'll be able to walk again or feed himself.

You mean like not moving him to the sidelines just so that they can keep playing?

I normally would go into that, but not really the time. I will say things are done the way they are for a reason. We let football players do there job, let the medical staff do theirs.

I was at the Lion game when Mike Utley was injured.
When you are at the game having a good time you never realize what has happened. When Utley got hurt..I was thinking he will be OK just shook up a bit.
Then the next morning I read that Utley has a broken neck.
I hope this kid is OK..

I'm not sure if this is a reference to a previous incedent or what happened with Everett today. But he was not moved off the field until he was stabilzed on a backboard and taken off the field by ambulance. As a NYS Certified (and practicing) EMT, they did it exactly how it should be done. If it is a c-spine injury, there can be respitory involvement, and time is of the essence. It took them about 15-20 minutes to get him strapped to the backboard and into the ambulance. There was no undue or negligent rush job.Again, I don't know if you're referring to this situation or another, but I just wanted to take the time to throw this out there.

Please let everything be OK.

They absolutely did the right thing. However, I did not. I was referring to the game thread where someone else was complaining that they did not move him to the sidelines so that the game could resume. But I should not have polluted this thread with that. Consider this the last comment on that particular incident.

ORCHARD PARK, NY (AP) -- Kevin Everett had surgery Sunday evening, hours after the Buffalo Bills tight end showed no signs of movement after sustaining a severe neck injury in the team's season opener against Denver.
Bills spokesman Scott Berchtold said he was informed by the team's medical staff that Everett went into surgery at a Buffalo hospital at about 8 p.m. Berchtold said he had no further information, and didn't know whether Everett had shown any signs of movement since he was driven off the field in an ambulance.
Coach **** Jauron said immediately following the game that the player sustained a cervical spine injury, but wouldn't discuss the severity of the injury.

He's probably sarcastically referencing a poster named Homer that was #####ing and whining in the game thread that they should've moved Everett off the field before loading him up so the game could get going quicker. He hated having to wait 15 minuted to get the gu off the field. Pretty classless jerk.Ever Present Lurker said:
