Injured Ex-Pro Improved

Former All-Pro football player Doug Betters of the Miami Dolphis remains paralyzed after suffering a spinal injury in a ski accident on The Big Mountain on Feb. 5.

A doctor at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami said in a statement that Betters “has regained partial use of his arms and hands and has also recovered some sensation to his chest and abdomen but remains quadriplegic at this time.”

Betters, who has a house in Whitefish, Mont., suffered a fracture of the sixth cervical vertebrae when he caught an edge and crashed, landing on his head.
