Everett Will Attend Bills Final Home Game On Sunday

Orchard Park, NY (AHN) - The Buffalo Bills were eliminated from the playoffs last week but the team received some of the best news in all of football as the team's injured tight end Kevin Everett will be in attendance on Sunday to watch the Bills' final home game of the year.

Everett's return is nothing short of remarkable as he suffered a severe spinal cord injury less than four months ago that threatened to leave him paralyzed for life.

The Buffalo tight end is now walking gingerly under his own power which was a fast turnaround after hurting his neck while trying to tackle a Denver Broncos player in the Bills' season opening game this year.

Incidentally, that Broncos player was Domenik Hixon who is now playing for Buffalo.

After the tackle, an immobile Everett was taken off the football field on a stretcher and he was paralyzed from the neck down for a couple of long days.

The 25-year-old gradually regained feeling in his extremities and extensive rehab at a facility near his hometown in Houston over the past 2 1/2 months has allowed the football player to walk again.

As for Everett's return to Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday, Bills spokesman Scott Berchtold said it will probably be a low key affair as he will visit with Buffalo players before their game against the New York Giants and then he will watch the game from an undisclosed location.

Most likely, the Bills tight end will be sitting with team owner Ralph Wilson in his suite.

Most football fans would have liked to see Everett walk onto the field on Sunday but that will probably not happen because the weather is not conducive for that. Buffalo will be experiencing windy conditions with gusts as high as 30 mph and the possibility of rain or snow.

Nevertheless, Everett's return to his football team will be inspiring for all sports fans.
