Several days after the injury, Primeau was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, and he decided to retire from the NHL, prioritizing his health over any further success on the rink.
Kevin Everett
Kevin Everett’s NFL career was cut short after only two seasons in Buffalo. Everett suffered a terrible spinal cord injury during the 2007-2008 season that came dangerously close to paralyzing him. Needless to say, returning to the NFL was out of the question.

He was eventually able to regain some control of his legs and walk on his own again, but never to the point where he could play contact sports. Everett’s once illustrious career came to an end with this.
