From the Denver Post...
Hixon saw, heard nothing
Domenik Hixon talked about the opening kickoff return of the second half, when Buffalo's Kevin Everett suffered a cervical spine injury while tackling Hixon.
"Honestly, there was nothing out of the ordinary on the play," Hixon said. "I had no idea anything was wrong. He hit me, and then I was trying to get up myself. I didn't realize, see or hear anything. ... All I can do is pray for him now."
Bad memories
Seeing the injury to Everett made the Broncos think of their own recent history of sad news. In the offseason, 24-year-old players Darrent Williams and Damien Nash died.
"A few of us talked about D-Will before the game, and I know we were all thinking of him in our own way today," Foxworth said. "Seeing what happened today just brings back memories of sadness for us, too. It was just disgusting to see (Everett) lying out there, not moving."
=====================================================
I feel awful for this kid. Of course, he knows its not his fault and it was a freak accident, but how can it not weigh heavily on his mind?
