Everett Leaves Hospital, Thanks Buffalo Fans

Posted Nov 19, 07 1:00 PM CST in US Sports 

(Newser) – Buffalo tight end Kevin Everett left the hospital last week and thanked his team and its fans for their support in a video message that played before last night's game. "Just letting you guys know it’s been special to me and I just want to say, come on let’s beat New England," Everett said before the Bills' 56-10 loss.

Everett suffered a severe spinal cord injury in the season opener on September 9, and doctors initially said it was unlikely he would walk again. But he has steadily recovered and was able to take a few steps with a walker last month, reports the Buffalo News. "I still have a long journey to full recovery," he said last night.
