Really sad news from the NFL. Everett made a helmet-to-helmt tackle on special teams yesterday, and just fell to the field, and did not move. He was carted off, and had emergency surgery last night.
Today, the surgeon stated that Everett suffered a "catastrophic" injury and will likely be paralyzed.
Horrible news, the guy's career is over, and his life as he knows it is over. Sigh, that's the danger of football.
Best of luck to him & his family.

It's truly a game of inches... looked like any other tackle really... just an inch or two in the wrong direction.

It's so sad, but I'm relieved this thread title said likely paralyzed as opposed to dead. I got a chill when I read the first few words.
