BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell visited injured Bills tight end Kevin Everett on Thursday morning, spending 90 minutes with the tight end who sustained a severe spinal cord injury.

Goodell flew from New York City to Buffalo and met with Everett and his mother, Patricia Dugas, in the player's room at Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital, hospital spokesman Mike Hughes said.
Bills general manager Marv Levy also was in the room.
Hughes said Goodell requested permission to make the visit Wednesday, hours after Everett's doctors expressed "cautious optimism" that the player might be able to walk again. Everett sustained a life-threatening spinal cord injury in Buffalo's season opener against Denver on Sunday. "He just wanted to go up to see him," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.

That was the right thing to do. Goodell is growing into his position very quickly, and I think he will be a great asset to the league.
