Everett Could Be Walking in Days: Docs

Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett, who suffered a disastrous spinal cord injury in a tackle less than two weeks ago, is being transferred today to a Houston hospital, and could be walking "in days," according to doctors. Everett has already been sitting up unassisted. Doctors grimly predicted Everett would never walk again when he arrived paralyzed from the neck down.

Now, "I think the future for him is very bright," said a physician. Houston is Everett's hometown, and his mother said that having family nearby would aid his rehabilitation. "He's strong, you all," she said."Kevin's going to get up walking and take care of his business like he always has." (More NFL stories.)
