Everett injured

[Philagape]

From the AP wire, no link:

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) … Bills rookie tight end Kevin
Everett was carted off the field after twisting his left leg in
practice Friday.
Everett, Buffalo's third-round pick in last weekend's NFL
draft, was hurt when he made a catch and his foot appeared to
stick in the turf when he planted to turn up field. He sat on
the ground in obvious pain, slapping the turf in frustration,
before the team's trainers helped lift him into a cart.
Coach Mike Mularkey had no immediate update on Everett's
injury, which occurred late in the second of two practices as
the Bills opened a three-day mandatory minicamp.

Where was Troy?

[THATHURMANATOR]

Great.

[Dicknoze69]

Just saw this on the news. No word on the injury yet. Here's hoping he's okay.

[Kerr]

so what else is new.

[THATHURMANATOR]

That does not sound good.

[LtFinFan66]

That blows!! Hope it is not serious. Hate to see anyone injured even from a rival team!

[RedEyE]

WTF?

[Mr. Cynical]

If I were a TE I would never come to Buffalo. The TE curse is alive and well it seems. :(

[Tatonka]

TE.. knee injury?

NO

[Slim]

i was kind of exited to wacth this kid play, thats to bad

[THATHURMANATOR]

I predict torn ACL out for the year.

[Pride]

I assume he wasn't signed to a contract..... so how does that work? Do we not sign him this year? I am thinking that this doesnt cost the Bills a dime?

[The_Philster]

They always got some kind of compensation just in case something like this happens, I think

[Tatonka]

this happened to bob sanders.. the safety from iowa that got drafted in the 2nd round by cleveland last season.. they still pay him the average contract from that slot.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I thought Bob Sanders was on the Colts last year?

They sign an agreement which covers them under the Bills insurance I do believe

[Turf]

Wonderful, just wonderful.
TD sucks. Another poor draft. There, I got that off my chest in 5 easy words, now I can move on.

It's TD's fault that Everett got injured?

Usually, draft picks sign an injury waiver to participate in minicamp. As part of the standard waiver, the team agrees to pay him a market contract if he is injured.

[BillsRockSOMUCH]

You're talking about Sean Jones...

Hopefully Everett is ok and ready for opening day

[MTBillsFan]

Oh well, Hopefully, he's not injured to badly...this just means we'll have to get a TE after June 1 cuts?

[dannyek71]

the one pos we need players at

[Dicknoze69]

Let's wait to hear a real diagnosis before we jump off the ship

[wchutalkinboutwillis]

Big deal. Coming in, he was the 4th TE anyway. Campbell & Euhus (who were progressing very, very well in their recovery), backed up by Neufeld (who was a quality 3rd TE). I'm paraphrasing TD, of course.

He's another McGahee or JP. Take the first year off and learn the playbook. I cannot tell whether I'm sarcastic or genuine. TD can make you think that way. Or, perhaps, too many Molson's have been consumed this Friday night. Let me know.

I would be a little more upset about this injury.

[wchutalkinboutwillis]

Yeah. I could be a little more upset. But as I mentioned, contrary what some folks may believe, there is some depth at this position. Don't get all upset because you miss Mr. Jay "Big Ears" Feidler.

[Marvelous]

That sucks. But as mentioned above " we have depth". I like Neufeld just in case we need him. As of now he's the only healthy TE we have :lmao:

[Turf]

It's TD's fault that Everett got injured?

Yeah, like it's your fault you are where you are.

[LtFinFan66]

Yeah. I could be a little more upset. But as I mentioned, contrary what some folks may believe, there is some depth at this position. Don't get all upset because you miss Mr. Jay "Big Ears" Feidler.What does Fiedler have to do with this?? Unlike you, I would care if the guy we had just used our 3rd round pick(2nd total pick) got hurt. Depth or not!!

[wchutalkinboutwillis]

Jeepers Creepers, Mr. Mercury Morris!!!!!! Please do not misunderstand me. I love dolphins as much as I love Lake Erie carp. Lovely creatures, really. As you know, injuries are very much a part of professional sports. I think the good GM's make their draft decisions, at least partly, on how well players can deal and recover with physical injury. ie. wchutalkinboiutWillis McGahee. Granted, McGahee's injury prognosis was cloudy, yet better defined than what we have here with the newcomer, Chris Everett. However, I'm not sure that any of us really know anything about this injury. It may very well be nothing.

Yeah....TD ran out on to the field with a pipe and pulled a Tanya Harding.

WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!

[Jan Reimers]

I'll wait for a medical update before writing him off for the season.

[mysticsoto]

Yeah, like it's your fault you are where you are.
Are you being sarcastic??? B'cse otherwise, I can't tell why or even what you are saying!!!

[DynaPaul]

We're not having much luck with TE's lately. Hopefully it's just a sprain and he'll be back in action prior to the season.

It's times like these that I miss Pete Metzelars.

[jamze132]

We won't have a prognosis until probably today. But I hope it's nothing serious, maybe just a twisted knee with no damage. It has happened to me before. I would have swore that I tore up my knee, I couldn't put any pressure on it, and after a couple days, its just stopped hurting and I was able to get back out there. After a couple of weeks, you couldn't tell it was ever hurt.

Lets hope it's not serious.

[gobuffalo2007]

the curse of the bills TE continues........

Whos is Chris Everett? The tight end we drafted this year is Kevin Everett

[wchutalkinboutwillis]

I'm happy someone caught it. I was making an off-handed reference to Chris Everett, the great female tennis star of the 80's. Remember when Jim Rome interviewed Jim Everett of the old LA Rams? For whatever reason, Rome kept calling him Chris Everett. Jim eventually got pretty ticked and threatened violence if he referred to him as Chris one more time. Rome immediately called him Chris and Jim knocked him out of his chair and put him in a choke hold. Classic ESPN footage.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Just to clear things up.....

This is Chris Evert

This is Kevin Everett

.....And this is what happens when you call football players with the last name Everett, "Chris."
