Young, Bulluck, Scaife visit hurt Bill in hospital

Given a chance to go anywhere they wanted during their bye weekend, three Titans spent the first part of it in Houston on Thursday night with injured Bills tight end Kevin Everett.
Quarterback Vince Young, linebacker Keith Bulluck and tight end Bo Scaife visited Everett at Houston's Memorial Hermann hospital, where he's spending the next part of his recovery from a life-threatening spinal cord injury.
The players gave Everett a No. 10 Titans jersey that was autographed by all three, and talked with him for roughly 30 minute after Everett finished his rehab.
Everett, who is from Port Arthur, Texas, was part of Scaife's group at the NFL Combine three years ago, and the two met when Everett, as a high school senior, visited the University of Texas, where Scaife and Young went to school.
Everett was hurt making a tackle in Buffalo's season opener against Denver.
"They wanted to do something to lift his spirits,'' said Mike Mu, Young's marketing manager.
"He enjoyed seeing them and they enjoyed spending time with him.''
Everett recently was transferred from Buffalo to Houston's Memorial Hermann-The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research, which provides medical rehabilitation for patients of catastrophic trauma such as brain or spinal cord injuries.
Doctors initially feared Everett never would walk again, but he began moving his arms and legs days after the injury. In Houston, he has been able to lift his right arm and sit up in bed, doctors say.
The Titans practiced Thursday, and many players left town late in the day.
Several Titans will be honored at the Texas-Kansas State game in Austin on Saturday, when Young will serve as an honorary captain and be present at the coin flip.
