Everett sustained a cervical spine injury when driving to tackle Denver’s Domenik Hixon during the second half opening kickoff. Everett twitched a few seconds before attempting to get up and then falling straight back to the ground. He showed no signs of movement the next 15 minutes as the team’s medical staff and emergency personnel immobilized him and loaded him into an ambulance at the Broncos 30-yard line.
Keep this Cane in your thoughts and prayers. Football is meaningless at a time like this. It’s all about the hope that modern science and technology can help Everett walk again after yesterday’s tragic on the field incident.
UPDATE – 09.11.07 — The surgery proved successful, Everett is moving his arms and legs and doctors expect that he will walk again. This is nothing short of a miracle and due largely in part to Miami Project’s research and development regarding paralysis. Check out Dave Hyde’s article for more.
