On Sunday Bills Tight End Kevin Everett suffered a potentially life threatening injury during the game against the Broncos.
Everett sustained what the team called a cervical spine injury when he ducked his head while driving into tackle Denver's Domenik Hixon during the second half-opening kickoff. Everett dropped face first to the ground after his helmet hit Hixon high on the left shoulder and side of the helmet.
It's rare that severe injuries are sustained in an NFL game these days which is testament to the safety equipment and training.
I send my hopes and prayers to Kevin and his family and my best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
