Two days after Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett was paralyzed during a game and just one day after the doctors that examined him described his state as potentially life-threatening, orthopedic spinal surgeon Andrew Cappuccino, the doctor that performed surgery on Everett, announced that the player’s condition had “improved.”
 
The god news for Buffalo Bills fans didn’t stop here as another doctor, who has consulted with Cappuccino, said that the injured tight end might even walk out of the hospital.

 “Kevin Everett is moving his arms and legs, his legs stronger than his arms,” said the consulting doctor, the neurosurgeon Barth Green. “He’s moving them both to a point, to a degree that he will end up walking. He will walk out of the hospital.”

The 25-yearold Everett was paralyzed from the shoulders down after a collision Sunday during a 15-14 loss to the Denver Broncos. The unfortunate accident happened right after the second-half kickoff as he attempted what looked like a routine tackle of Domenik Hixon, but after the contact he instantly collapsed and remained frozen for about 15 minutes.

In a Tuesday interview on Buffalo's WIVB-TV, Cappuccino said: "We may be witnessing a minor miracle."

Cappuccino and Dr. Kevin Gibbons performed surgery on Everett and fused the third and fourth vertebrae, removed loose debris, and eased pressure on the spinal cord during the four-hour procedure. The procedure implicated a bone graft plus the insertion of a plate with four screws and two rods.
