Kevin Everett continues to make amazing progress since the third-year tight end was hurt while making a tackle in Buffalo's game against Denver on Sept. 9. After arriving at the hospital paralyzed from the neck down, Everett began to show voluntary movement in his feet, legs and arms on Sept. 11th.

This week, doctors felt so confident in Everett's progress that they fed him while he sat up in a chair.

A person close to Everett's family told The Associated Press that Everett could be transferred to Houston by this weekend if there are no setbacks in the his progress.

Dr. Barth Green, Chairman of the Department of Nurological Surgery at the University of Miami School of Medicine, said he suggested to Everett's doctors that he be moved to a facility in Houston so that he can be closer to his friends and family.

The Bills continue to keep Everett firmly in their thoughts. Everett's locker remains untouched, and his helmet and practice jersey still hang under the number 85. Teammates also signed a Bills helmet that will be presented to Everett's mother, Patricia Dugas, who has remained by her son's side at the hospital.

To make matters better, Bills staff members make sure the team's weekly schedule is placed on the stool of Everett's locker every Monday.

"It definitely serves a purpose to keep him in front of us in that locker room. And we'll keep it that way," Coach Dick Jauron said. "Kevin knows he's part of this

team and everybody else on the team knows it, too. It's the way it is, and the way it'll be."
