Kevin

Everett

Everett’s signed was delayed because he’s recovering from a torn ACL. Expected to be placed on the PUP list, Everett is likely to miss the season.

Last year’s third-round pick wasn’t selected by the current Bills staff, who may be looking for a blocker. A once-promising fantasy player, Everett has a ways to go just to get on the field right now.

The Miami rookie tore ligaments in his knee in May.

Tough news to swallow. The Bills will probably update Everett’s condition on Monday morning after the surgery is complete. The Associated Press reports that Everett showed no signs of movement since leaving the stadium Sunday.

“The next couple of days is going to be critical,” said Everett’s agent, responding to a question about paralysis. “Our concern is for him to come out of this healthy and, hopefully, be able to walk again.” It may be two or three days before more news comes out.

The Bills are expected to update the situation this afternoon. Doctors say the surgery went well.

Everett has apparently regained voluntary movement of his arms and legs, prompting the improved outlook. His latest MRI also shows only a small level of swelling on his spinal cord.

Sobering news. The surgeon emphasized the life-threatening nature of Everett’s injury. Everett will be sedated for the next day or two as he recovers from surgery. Everett likely to be paralyzed. The Bills placed him on injured reserve Monday.

He’ll miss the rest of Buffalo’s Organized Team Activities, but the injury isn’t expected to affect Royal long term. Kevin Everett will see increased reps.

The Buffalo News believes Everett, a former third-round pick, can take a big step forward this season. He has made one catch to this point in his career.
